Varieties  of  the  Human  Species. 

There  are  five  grand  varieties  of  the  human  race;  but  they  impercept- 
ibly approach,  and  are  lost  in  each  other.  First:  the  white  and  brownish 
nations  of  Europe,  western  Asia,  and  the  north  coast  of  Africa ;  who, 
according  to  our  notions  of  beauty,  are  the  handsomest  and  best  formed 
of  the  human  race.  Next:  the  yellow  or  olive  coloured  Chinese,  Monguls, 
Calmucs,  and  other  eastern  nations  of  Asia,  with  whom  may  be  reckoned 
the  most  northerly  American  Indian  tribes,  having  flat  foreheads,  little 
eyes,  and  wide  mouths.  Thirdly:  the  copper  coloured  American  Indians, 
dispersed  over  the  entire  continent;  with  broad  faces,  bristly  hair,  and 
stout  masculine  limbs.  Fourthly:  the  jet  black  negroes  and  other  Africans 
of  various  shades  of  black,  having  woolly  hair,  thick  lips,  flat  noses, 


—    9     - 

prominent  chins,  and  downy  skins.  Fifthly:  the  darli  brown  Australians, 
on  the  continent,  and  in  the  islands  of  the  Pacific  and  Indian  oceans,  with 
large  features,  strong  hair,  broad  nostrils  and  great  mouths. 

But  all  men  are  the  offspring  of  one  common  parent;  and  among  the 
varieties,  the  swarthy  negro  and  the  delicate  European  are  brethren,  de- 
scended from  the  same  ancestor. 


Useful  lioowledge. 

One  is  often  surprised,  when  talking  with  little  boys,  to  find  them  so 
ignorant  of  many  things,  which  they  ought  to  have  known  as  well  as 
their  own  names.  I  was  questioning  one,  at  least  eight  years  old,  the 
other  day,  who  knew  neither  the  number  of  days,  weeks,  or  months 
there  are  in  the  year.  He  could  not  tell  whether  the  sun  rose  in  the  east 
or  the  west,  and  was  equally  ignorant  whether  his  pocket  was  made  of 
hemp,  flax,  or  wool.  There  are  things  certainly  more  important  for  him 
to  know  than  these,  but  he  should  make  himself  better  acquainted  with 
things  of  this  nature. 

Every  boy  ought  to  know,  that  he  has  five  senses,  seeing,  hearing, 
smelling,  feeling,  and  tasting; — that  the  year  has  four  seasons,  spring, 
summer,  autumn,  and  winter;  — that  the  earth  turns  round,  and  travels 
round  the  sun;— that  the  world  is  composed  of  land  and  water,  and  di- 
vided into  six  parts,  Europe,  Asia,  Africa,  America,  Australia,  Oceania 
or  Polynesia; — that  there  are  four  cardinal  points,  east,  west,  north,  and 
south;— that  gold,  silver  and  other  metals,  and  coal  are  dug  out  of  the 
earth;  diamonds  are  found  on  the  land,  and  pearls  are  found  in  the  sea. 
That  boy  must  be  ignorant  indeed,  who  does  not  know,  that  bread  is 
made  of  the  flower  of  wheat;  butter  from  cream,  and  cheese  from  milk; 
that  when  flour  is  mingled  with  yeast,  it  makes  leavened,  or  light  bread, 
and  that  when  no  yeast  is  used,  the  bread  is  heavy  or  unleavened.  The 
passover  cakes  of  the  Jews,  the  biscuits  eaten  by  sailors,  and  the  barley 
bread  of  Scotland  are  all  unleavened.  A  boy  ought,  at  an  early  age,  to  be 
acquainted  with  such  things  as  are  in  common  use;  but  I  have  frequently 
found  it  necessary  to  explain  to  young  people,  that  sugar  is  made  from 
the  juice  of  the  sugar  cane  in  the  Indies;  that  tea  is  the  dried  leaves  of 
a  shrub  which  grows  in  China,  about  the  size  of  a  currant  bush;  that 
coifee  is  the  berry  of  a  bush  growing  in  Arabia  and  the  West  Indies;  and 

2 


-    10   - 

that  chocolate  is  manufactured  from  cacao  and  vanilla.  Many  boys  know 
very  well  that  ale  and  beer  are  made  with  malt  and  hops,  cider  from 
apples,  and  perry  from  pears;  who  do  not  know,  that  wine  is  the  juice 
of  the  grape;  that  brandy  is  distilled  from  wine,  rum  from  sugar,  and  gin 
from  juniper  berries.  And  they  have  been  equally  ignorant  that  oranges, 
citrons,  and  lemons  grow  in  Spain  and  the  western  islands;  and  spices  in 
in  the  East  Indies,  and  other  parts;  that  pepper  and  cloves  are  fruits  of 
shrubs;  nutmegs,  the  kernels  of  a  fruit  like  a  peach;  cinnamon,  the  bark 
of  a  tree;  and  ginger  and  rhubarb,  the  roots  of  plants.  A  greatdeal  of  this 
kind  of  knowledge  may  be  obtained  in  a  little  time  by  young  people,  if 
they  keep  their  eyes  and  ears  open,  and  now  and  then  ask  a  question  of 
those  who  are  wiser  than  themselves.  I  know  a  father  who  is  very 
anxious  that  his  children  should  obtain  useful  knowledge,  and  I  heard 
him  explain  to  them  the  other  day,  that  salt  is  sea  water,  or  salt  water 
dried;  glue,  the  sinews,  feet,  and  skins  of  animals,  boiled  down;  cork,  the 
bark  of  a  tree;  flax,  the  fibres  of  the  stalk  of  a  plant  resembling  a  nettle; 
and  tow,  the  refuse  of  hemp.  He  told  them  also,  that  paper  is  made  prin-

Languages  of  the  World. 

According  to  the  enunleration  of  Professor  Adelung,  there  are  in  the 
world  three  thousand  and  sixty-four  different  languages ;  of  which  five 
hundred  and  eighty-seven  are  spoken  in  Europe,  nine  hundred  and  thirty- 
seven  in  Asia,  two  hundred  and  seventy-six  in  Africa,  and  one  thousand 
two  hundred  and  sixty- four  in  America.  The  Professor  probably  includes 
in  this  enumeration  many  provincial  (ig^|j|tions  of  the  same  general  lan- 
guages.

which  was  made  by  his  negro  servant,  on  a  tour  in  Lancashire  etc. 

«0h!  Massa  >; ,  said  the  negro,  « every  thing  is  working  in  this  country: 
water  works,  wind  works,  fire  works,  smoke  works,  dogs  work,  men 
work,  oxen  work,  horses  work,  asses  work  —  every  thing  works  here 
but  the  hog:  it  eats,  it  drinks,  it  sleeps,  it  does  nothing  all  the  day,  but

5.  1  Will  no  More  Verses  Make. 

It  was  so  natural  for  Dr.  Watts,  when  a  child,  to  speak  in  rhyme, 
that  even  at  the  very  time  he  wished  to  avoid  it,  he  could  not. 

His  father  was  displeased  with  this  propensity,  and  threatened  to 
whip  him,  if  he  did  not  leave  off  making  verses. 

One  day,  when  he  was  about  to  beat  his  son  for  again  speaking  in 
rhyme,  the  child  burst  out  into  tears,  fell  on  his  knees,  and  said: 

«Pray,  father,  do  some  pity  take, 
And  I  will  no  more  verses  make«.

6.  The  Origin  of  the  Term  Sandwich. 

Not  many  years  ago.  Lord  Sandwich,  Minister  of  state,  spent  twenty- 
four  hours  in  a  gaming-house.  He  was  so  occupied  by  the  passion  of 
gaming,  that  during  the  whole  time  he  had  only  some  slices  of  fried  beef 
between  toas^,  which  he  ate  without  leaving  the  gaming-table. 

This  new  kind  of  viand  obtained  the  name  of  the  Minister,  who  had 
invented  it  for  the  purpose  of  economizing  his  time.

7.  The  Origin  of  the  Term  Grog. 

Until  the  time  of  Admiral  Vernon  the  British  sailors  had  their  allowance 
of  brandy  or  rum  served  out  to  them  unmixed  with  water. 

This  plan  was  found  to  be  attended  with  inconveniences  on  some 
occasions.  The  Admiral,  therefore,  ordered  that  in  the  fleet  hecommanded, 
the  spirit  should  be  mixed  with  water  before  it  was  given  to  the  men. 

This  innovation,  at  first,  gave  great  offence  to  the  sailors,  and  ren- 
dered the  Commander  very  unpopular. 

The  Admiral,  at  that  time,  wore  a  grogram  coat,  and  was  nicknamed 
«01d  Grog».  This  name  was  afterwards  given  to  the  mixed  liquor  he 
compelled  them  to  take;  and  it  has  hence  universally  obtained  the  name 
of  grog.

8.  The  First  Smoker. 

Tobacco  was  first  brought  into  repute  in  England  by  Sir  Walter 

Raleigh.  By  the  caution  he  took  in  smoking  it  privately,  he  did  not  intend 

it  should  be  copied.  But  sitting  one  day,  in  deep  meditation,  with  a  pipe 

in  his  mouth,  he  inadvertently  called  to  his  man  to  bring  him  a  tankard 

of  smaUbeer.  The  fellow,  coming  into  the  room,  threw  aU  the  liquor  into 

his  master's  face,  and  running  downstairs,  bawled  out:  «Fire!  Help!  Sir 

Walter  has  studied  tiU  his  head  is  on  fire,  and  the  smoke  bursts  out  at 

his  mouth  and  nose!»

9.  A  Resolute  Boy. 

A  boy,  who  had  sold  a  cow  at  the  fair  of  Hereford  in  the  year  1766, 
was  waylaid  by  a  highwayman  on  horseback,  who,  at  a  convenient  place, 
demanded  the  money. 

On  this  the  boy  took  to  his  heels,  and  ran  away.  But  being  overtaken 
by  the  highwayman,  who  dismounted,  the  boy  pulled  the  money  out  of 
his  pocket,  and  strowed  it  about  on  the  ground. 

While  the  robber  was  picking  it  up,  the  boy  jumped  upon  the  horse, 
and  rode  home.  When  he  was  searching  the  saddle-bags,  there  were 
found  twelve  pounds  in  cash,  and  two  loaded  pistols.

ped at  a  little  village  in  Holland,  and  being  hungry  asked  for  two  or  three 
eggs,  which  he  ate  while  the  postillions  Avere  changing  horses.  When  they 
were  going  away,  the  servant  told  his  Majesty  that  the  inn-keeper  had 
charged  two  hundred  florins;  on  which  the  King  sent  for  him,  and  said: 
«How  is  it,  Sir,  that  you  charge  me  two  hundred  florins  for  three  eggs? 
are  they  so  scarce  here?»  «No»,  replied  the  host,  «eggs  are  abundant 
enough,  but  Kings  are  excessively  rare  here,  and  we  must  make  the  most 
of  them,  when  fortune  does  us  the  favour  of  throwing  them  into  our  way » .  — 
The  King  smiled,  bade  the  postillions  drive  on,  telling  the  landlord,  «quMl

11.  The  Note  of  Interrogatiou. 

When  Pope  was  one  evening  at  Burton's  coffee  house,  and  with  Swift 
poring  over  a  Greek  manuscript  of  Aristophanes,  they  found  one  sentence 
which  they  could  not  comprehend.  As  they  tallied  pretty  loud,  a  young 
officer,  who  stood  by  the  fire,  heard  their  conference,  and  begged  leave 
to  look  at  the  passage.  «0h»,  said  Pope,  sarcastically,  «by  all  means! 
Pray,  let  the  young  gentleman  look  at  it».  Upon  which  the  officer  took 
up  the  book,  and  considering  a  while,  said,  there  wanted  only  a  note 
of  interrogation,  to  make  the  whole  intelligible.  «And,  pray  Sir» ,  said 
Pope,  piqued,  perhaps,  at  being  outdone  by  a  red  coat,  «what  is  a  note 
of  interrogation? »  «A  note  of  interrogation » ,  rephed  the  youth,  with  a 
look  of  the  utmost  contempt,  «is  a  little  crooked  thing  that  asks  questi- 
ons*. (It  must  be  remembered  that  Pope  was  slightly  hump -backed).

12.  Doctor  Goldsmith. 

A  poor  woman,  understanding  that  Dr.  Goldsmith  was  a  physician, 
and  hearing  of  his  great  humanity,  solicited  him,  by  letter,  to  send  her 
something  for  her  husband,  who  had  lost  his  appetite,  and  was  reduced 
to  a  most  melancholy  state.  The  good-natured  poet  waited  on  her  instantly, 
and,  after  some  discourse  with  his  patient,  found  him  sinking  with  sick- 
ness and  poverty.  The  doctor  told  the  honest  pair  that  they  should  hear 
from  him  in  an  hour,  when  he  would  send  him  some  pills  which,  he 
believed,  would  prove  efficacious.  He  immediately  went  home,  and  put 
ten  guineas  into  a  pill-box,  with  the  following  label:  «These  must  be 
used  as  necessities  require:  be  patient  and  of  good  heart ».  He  sent  his 
servant  with  this  prescription  to  the  comfortless  mourner,  who  found  it 
contained  a  remedy  superior  to  any  thing  Galen,  or  his  disciples,  could 
ever  administer.

A  Qaaker,  driving  in  a  one-horse  chaise,  happened  to  meet  with  a 
young  fop,  who  was  also  in  a  one-horse  chaise.  There  was  not  room 
enough  for  them  to  pass  each- other,  unless  one  of  them  would  back  his 
carriage.,  which  they  both  refused.  «I  will  not  make  way  for  you»,  said

«I  will  noti),  resumed  the  first.  He  then  pulled  out  a  news-paper,  and 
began  to  read,  as  he  sat  still  in  his  chaise.  The  Quaker  observing  him, 
pulled  a  pipe  and  some  tobacco  from  his  pocket,  and  with  a  convenience 
which  he  carried  about  him,  struck  a  light,  lit  his  pipe,  and  sat  and 
puffed  away  very  comfortably.  «Friend»,  said  he,  «when  thou  hast  read

Jhe  monster  no  sooner  heard ,  than  he  took  to  the  mountains  with  great

15.  Honesty  the  Best  Policy. 

A  nobleman  travelling  in  Scotland ,  about  six  years  ago ,  was  asked 
for  his  alms  in  the  High  Street  in  Edinburgh  by  a  little  ragged  boy.  He 
said,  he  had  no  change;  upon  which  the  boy  offered  to  procure  it.  His 
Lordship,  in  order  to  get  rid  of  his  importunity,  gave  him  a  piece  of  silver, 
which  the  boy  conceiving  to  be  changed,  ran  off  for  the  purpose.  On  his 
return,  not  finding  his  benefactor,  whom  he  expected  to  wait,  he  watched 
for  several  days  in  the  place  where  he  had  received  the  money.  At  length, 
the  nobleman  happened  again  to  pass  that  way;  the  boy  accosted  him,  and 
put  the  change  he  had  procured  into  his  hand,  counting  it  with  great 
exactuesss.  —  His  Lordship  was  so  pleased  with  the  boy's  honesty,  that 
he  placed  him  at  school,  with  the  assurance  of  providing  for  him.

[7.  Hamanity, 

Sir  Philip  Sidney,  at  the  battle  near  Zutphen,  displayed  the  most  un- 
daunted courage.  He  had  two  horses  killed  under  him;  and,  while  mounting 
a  third,  was  wounded  by  a  musket-shot  out  of  the  trenches,  which  broke 
the  bone  of  his  thigh.  He  returned  about  a  mile  and  a  half  on  horseback 
to  the  camp,  and  being  faintwith  the  loss  of  blood,  and,  probably,  parched 
with  thirst  through  the  heat  of  the  weather,  he  called  for  drink.  It  was 
presently  brought  him;  but,  as  he  was  putting  the  vessel  to  his  mouth, 
a  poor  wounded  soldier,  who  happened  to  be  carried  by  him  at  that  instant, 
fixed  his  eye  eagerly  upon  it.  The  gallant  and  generous  Sidney  took  the 
bottle  from  his  mcuth  just  when  he  was  going  to  drink,  and  delivered 
it  to  the  soldier,  saying:  «Thy  necessity  is  yet  greater  than  mine»!

18    T!ie  Bagpiper  Revived. 

The  following  event  happened  in  London  during  the  great  plague 
which,  in  1665,  carried  off  nearly  100,000  of  the  inhabitants. 

A  Scotch  bagpiper  used  to  get  his  living  by  sitting  and  playing  his 
bagpipes  every  day  on  the  steps  of  St.  Andrew's  church,  in  Holborn.  In 
order  to  escape  the  contagion  he  drank  a  great  deal  of  gin;  and,  one  day, 
having  taken  more  than  usual,  he  became  so  drunk  that  he  fell'fast  asleep 
on  the  steps.  It  was  the  custom,  daring  the  prevalence  of  that  terrible 
disease,  to  send  carts  about  every  night  to  collect  the  dead,  and  carry 
them  to  a  common  grave,  or  deep  pit,  of  which  several  had  been  made  in 
the  environs  of  London. 

The  men  passing  with  the  cart  up  Holborn-hill,  and  seeing  the  piper 
extended  on  the  steps,  naturally  thought  it  was  a  dead  body,  and  tossed 
him  into  the  cart  among  the  others,  without  observing  that  he  had  his 
bagpipes  under  his  arm,  and  without  paying  any  attention  to  his  dog, 
which  followed  the  cart,  barking  and  howling  most  piteously. 

The  rumbling  of  the  cart  over  the  stones,  and  th&  cries  of  the  poor 
dog,  soon  awoke  the  piper  from  his  drunken  lethargy,  and,  not  being 
able  to  discover  Avhere  he  was,  he  began  squeezing  his  bag  and  playing 
a  Scotch  air,  to  the  great  astonishment  and  terror  of  the  carters  who  im 
mediately  fetched  lights,  and  found  the  Scot  sitting  erect  amid  the  dead 
bodies,  playing  his  pipes.  He  was  soon  released,  and  restored  to  his  faith- 
ful dog.  The  piper  became,  from  this  event,  so  celebrated,  that  one  of  the 
first  sculptors  of  that  epoch  made  a  statue  of  him  and  his  dog,  which  is 

still  to  be  seen  at  London^

19.  Newton's  Consmand  of  his  Temper. 

Newton  had  a  favorite  little  dog  called  «Diamond».  One  winter's  morn- 
ing, while  attending  early  service,  he  inadvertently  left  his  dog  shut  up 
in  his  room.  On  returning  from  chapel,  he  found  that  the  animal,  by  upset- 


—  20  — 

tiog  a  taper  on  his  desk,  had  set  fire  to  the  papers  on  which  he  had  written 
down  his  experiments;  and  thus  he  saw  before  him  the  labors  of  so  many 
years  reduced  to  ashes.  It  is  said,  that  on  first  perceiving  this  great  loss, 
he  contented  him.^elf  by  exclaiming:  « Oh  Diamond!  Diamond!  thou  little 
knowest  the  mischief  thou  hast  done».

i^";^^  .    20.  Abstraction. 

Sir  Isaac  Newton,  finding  himself  extremely  cold^one  winter's  evening, 

drew  a  chair  very  close  to  the  grate,  in  which  a  fire  had  recently  been 

lighted.  By  degrees  the  fire  having  completely  kindled,  Sir  Isaac  felt  the 

heat  intolerably  intense,  and  rang  his  bell  with  unusual  violence.  His 

servant  was  not  at  hand  in  the  moment,  but  soon  made  his  appearance. 

By  this  time  Sir  Isaac  was  almost  literally  roasted.  « Remove  the  grate, 

you  lazy  rascal »!  he  exclaimed  in  a  tone  of  irritation,  very  uncommon 

with  this  amiable  and  mild  philosopher,  « remove  the  grate  before  I  am 

burned  to  death »!  On  the  servant's  remarking  that  it  would  be  easier  for 

him  to  draw  back  his  chair;  «upon  ray  word^^ ,  said  he,  smiling,  «I  never 

thought  of  that» !

21.  Oliver  Cromwell. 

Oliver  Cromwell  was  born  at  Huntingdon,  and  of  the  younger  branch 
of  a  good  family.  There  is  a  curious  story  told  of  a  narrow  escape  he  had, 
when  an  infant,  from  the  mischievous  tricks  of  a  monkey.  He  had  been 
taken  by  his  father  and  mother  to  his  grandfather's,  old  Sir  Henry  Crom- 
well's at  Hinchinbroke;  and,  while  his  nurse  was  out  of  the  way,  a  great 
monkey,  which  was  allowed  to  run  loose  about  the  house,  snatched  him 


.  —    21    — 

out  of  the  cradle,  and  ran  with  him  to  the  roof  of  the  house,  where  it  was 
seen  dancing  about  with  the  child  in  its  arms,  to  the  great  terror  of  the 
whole  family,  particularly,  as  you  may  suppose,  ofhis  father  and  mother. 
It  was  impossible  to  attempt  to  catch  the  animal;  the  only  thing  that  could 
be  done  was  to  place  feather-beds  and  carpets  all  round  the  house,  for 
the  child  to  fall  on  in  case  the  monkey  should  let  him  drop.  However, 
after  some  time,  the  creature  returned  down  into  the  house  by  the  way 
it  had  got  up,  and  brought  the  child  back  in  safety.

22.  Canute's  Reproof. 

Canute,  the  greatest  and  most  powerful  monarch  of  his  time,  sovereign 
of  Denmark  and  Norway  as  well  as  of  England,  could  not  fail  of  meeting 
with  adulation  from  his  courtiers,  a  tribute  which  is  liberally  paid  even 
to  the  meanest  and  weakest  princes.  Some  of  his  flatterers,  breaking  out 
one  day  in  admiration  of  his  grandeur,  exclaimed  that  every  thing  was 
possible  for  him.  Upon  which  the  monarch  ordered  his  chair  to  be  set  on 
the  seashore  while  the  tide  was  rising,  and,  as  the  waters  approached, 
he  commanded  them  to  retire,  and  to  obey  the  voice  of  him  who  was  lord 
of  the  ocean..  —  He  feigned  to  sit  some  time  in  expectation  of  their  sub- 
mission. —  But  when  the  sea  still  advanced  towards  him,  and  began  to 
wash  him  with  its  billows,  he  turned  to  his  courtiers ,  and  remarked  to 
them,  that  every  creature  in  the  universe  was  feeble  and  impotent  —  and 
that  power  resided  with  one  Being  alone ,  in  whose  hands  were  all  the 
elements  of  nature;  who  could  say  to  the  ocean,  thus  far  shalt  thou  go 
and  no  farther ;   and  who  could  level  with  his  nod  the  most  towering 

piles  of  human  ambition.

23.  Dr,  JobDsoii  aud  Mrs.  Thrale. 

•The  first  time  Johnson  was  in  company  with  Mrs.  Thrale,  neither  the 
elegance  of  his  conversation,  nor  the  depth  of  his  knowledge  could  prevent 
that  lady  from  being  shocked  at  his  manners.  Among  other  pieces  of  in- 
decorum, his  tea  not  being  sweet  enough, he  dipped  his  fingers  into  the 
sugar-basin,  and  supplied  himself  with  as  little  ceremony  and  concern, 
as  if  there  had  not  been  a  lady  at  the  table.  Every  well  bred  cheek  was 
tinged  with  confusion;  but  Mrs.  Thrale  was  so  exasperated,  that  she 
ordered  the  sugar-basin  immediately  from  the  table,  as  if  its  contents  had 
been  contaminated  by  the  Doctor's  fingers  The  Doctor  prudently  took  no 
notice,  but  peaceably  swallowed,  as  usual,  his  dozen  cups  of  tea.  When 
he  had  done,  instead  of  placing  his  cup  and  saucer  upon  the  table,  he 
threw  them  both  calmly  under  the  grate.  The  whole  tea-table  was  thrown 
into  confusion.  Mrs.  Thrale  screamed  out:  «Why,  Doctor,  what  have  you 
done?  You  have  spoiled  the  handsomest  set  of  china  I  have  in  the  world! » 
«I  am  very  sorry  for  it,  madam»,  answered  Dr.  Johnson,  «but  I  assure 
you  I  did  it  out  of  good  breeding;  for  from  your  treatment  of  the  sugar- 
basin,  I  supposed  you  would  never  touch  any  thing  again  that  I  had  once 
soiled  with  my  fingers ».

24.  Shut  (lie  Door. 

Dean  Swift,  though  a  good  master,  was  very  strict  with  his  ser- 
vants. The  task  of  hiring  them  was  always  entrusted  to  his  housekeeper; 
but  the  only  two  positive  commands  he  had  for  them ,  he  generally  de- 
livered himself:  these  were,  to  shut  the  door  whenever  they  came  into, 
or  went  out  of  a  room.  One  of  his  maid- servants  one  day  asked  permission 
to  go  to  her  sister's  wedding,  at  a  place  about  ten  jniles  distant.  Swift 
not  only  consented,  but  lent  her  one  of  his  own  horses,  and  ordered  his 
servant  to  ride  before  her.  The  girl,  in  the  ardour  of  joy  for  this  favour, 
forgot  to  shut  the  door  after  her,  when  she  left  the  room.  In  about  a  quarter 


-    23    — 

of.an  hour  after  her  departure,  the  Dean  sent  a  servant  after  her,  to  order 
her  immediate  return.  The  poor  girl  obeyed;  and  enterning  his  presence, 
begged  to  know  in  what  she  had  offen.ded,  or  what  her  master  wished. 
<^:Only  shut  the  door »,  said  the  Dean,  «and  then  resume  your  journey».

25.  Beau  Swiff. 

As  the  late  Dean  Swii't  was  ouce  upon  a  journey,  attended  by  a  ser- 
vant,-they  put  up  at  an  inn,  where  they  lodged  allnight.  In  the  morning, 
the  Dean  called  for  his  boots;  the  servant  immediately  took  them  to  him. 
When'the  Dean  saw  them,  «How  is  this,  Tom»,  says  he,  «my  boots  are 
not  clean?))  ((No,  Sir»,  replied  Tom;  «as  you  are  going  to  ride,  I  thought 
they  would  soon  be  dirty  again,  so  I  did  not  clean  them».  Very  well», 
said  the  Doctor,  «go  and  get  the  horses  ready».  In  the  mean  time  the 
Dean  ordered  the  landlord  to  let  his  servant  have  no  breakfast.  When  the 
servant  returned,  he  asked  if  the  horses  were  ready.  «Yes,  Sir»,  was  the 
answer.  ((Go,  bring  them  out> ,  said  the  Doctor,  (d  have  not  had  my  break- 
fast yet»,  replied  tom.  <^0h,  no  matter  for  that»,said  his  master,  if  you 
had,  you  would  soon  be  hungry  again».  They  mounted,  and  rode  off.

26.  Swii't  Teacliiiig  Good  Manueis. 

A  friend  of  Dean  Swift  one  day  sent  him  a  turhot,  as  a  present,  by  a 
servant  who  had  frequently  been  on  similar  errands,  but  had  never  yet 
received  the  most  trifling  mark  of  the  Dean's  generosity.  Having  gained 
admission,  he  opened  the  door  of  the  study,   and  abruptly  putting  down 


—    24   — 

the  fish,  cried  very  radely:  «Master  has  sent  you  a  turbot».  «Heyda! 
young  mau»,  said  the  Dean,  rising  from  his  easy  chair,  «isthat  the  way 
you  deliver  your  message?  Let  me  teach  you  better  manners;  sit  down 
in  my  chair,  we  will  change  situations,  and  I  will  show  you  how  to 
•behave  in  future ».  The  boy  sat  down,  and  the  Dean,  going  to  the  door, 
came  up  to  the  table  with  a  respectful  pace,  and  making  alow  bow,  said: 
«Sir,  my  master  presents  his  kind  compliments,  hopes  your  Reverence 
is  well,  and  begs  your  acceptance  of  aturbot».  —  «Does  he»,  replied  the 
boy.  «Here  John,  take  this  honest  lad  down  into  the  kitchen,  and  give 
him  as  much  as  he  can  eat  and  drink;  then  send  him  up  to  me,  and  1 
will  give  him  half  a  crown » ,

27.  Jonathan  Swift. 

In  one  of  his  letters ,  Pope  gives  the  following  illustration  of  Dean 
Swift's  eccentricity: 

Dean  Swift  has  an  odd,  blunt  way,  that  is  mistaken  by  strangers  for 

ill  nature:  it  is  so  odd  that  there  is  no  describing  it  but  by  facts.  I'll  tell 

you  one  that  first  comes  into  my  head. 

One  evening,  Gay  and  I  went  to  see  him:  you  know  how  intimately 
we  were  all  acquainted.  On  our  coming  in,  "Heyday,'  gentlemen »,  says 

the  doctor,  «whars  the  meaning  of  this  visit?  How  came  you  to  leave  all 

the  great  lords  that  you  are  so  fond  of,  to  come  hither  to  see  a  poor  dean?» 

«Because  we  would  rather  see  you  than  any  of  them».  «Ay,  any  one 

that  did  not  know  you  so  well  as  I  do  might  believe  you.  But  since  you 

have  come  I  must  get  some  supper  for  you,  I  suppose*.  «No,  doctor,  we' 

have  supped  already».  «Supped  already?  That's  impossible:  why,  it  is 

not  eight  o'clock  yet.  That's  very  strange:  but  if  you  had  not  supped,  I 

must  have  got  something  for  you.  Let  me  see;  what  should  I  have  had? 

A  couple  of  lobsters?  Ay,  that  would  have  done  very  well — two  shillings; 

tarts,  a  shilling ». 


-   25   — 

«But  you  will  drink  a  glass  of  wine  with  me,  though  you  supped  so 
much  before  your  usual  time,  only  to  spare  my  pocket ».  «No,  we  had 
rather  talk  with  you  than  drink  with  you».  «But  if  you  had  supped  with 
me,  as  in  all  reason  you  ought  to  have  done,  you  must  then  have  drunk 
with  me.  A  bottle  of  wine,  two  shillings.  Two  and  two  are  four,  and 
one  is  five;  just  two  and  sixpence  a  piece.  There,  Pope,  there's  half  a 
crown  for  you;  and  there's  another  for  you,  Sir;  for  I  won't  save  any  thing 
by  you,  I  am  determined)).  .         - 

This  was  said  and  done  with  his  usual  seriousness  on  such  occasions; 
and,  in  spite  of  every  thing  we  could  say  to  the  contrary,  he  actually 
obliged  us  to  take  the  money.

28.  Sir  Walter  Scott. 

When  Sir  Walter  Scott  was  a  schoolboy,  between  ten  and  eleven  years 
of  age,  his  mother  one  morning  saw  him  standing  still  in  the  street ,  and 
looking  at  the  sky,  in  the  midst  of  a  tremendous  thunderstorm.  She^called 
to  him  repeatedly,  but  he  did  not  seem  to  hear:  at  length  he  returned  into 
the  house,  and  told  his  mother  that  if  she  would  give  him  a  pencil,  he 
would  tell  her  why  he  looked  at  the  sky.  She  acceded  to  his  request, 'and 
in  a  few  minutes  he  laid  on  her  lap  the  following  lines: 

((Loud  o'er  my  head  what  awful  thunders  roll ! 
What  vivid  lightnings  flash  from  pole  to  pole  ! 
It  is  thy  voice,  0  God,  that  bids  them  fly; 
Thy  voice  directs  them  through  the  vaulted  sky; 
Then  let  the  good  thy  mighty  power  revere ; 
Let  hardened  ainuera  thy  just  judgments  fear.»

29.  Walter  Scott  at  School. 

It  appears  that  when  this  celebrated  author  was  at  school,  though 
very  laborious,  his  intelligence  was  not  brilliant,  and  his  great  success 
in  after-life  was  owing  to  his  indefai^igable  perseverance. 

The  following  anecdote  is  found  in  his  autobiography  published  some 
years  since. 

« There  was»,  says  Walter  Scott,  «a  boy  in  my  class,  who  stood  al- 
ways at  the  top,  and  I  could  not  with  all  my  efforts  supplant  him.  Day 
came  after  day,  and  still  he  kept  his  place;  till  at  length  1  observed  that, 
when  a  question  was  asked  him ,  he  always  fumbled  with  his  fingers  at 
a  particular  button  on  the  lower  part  of  his  waistcoat  while  seeking  an 
answer.  I  thought,  therefore,  if  1  could  remove  the  button  slily,  the  sur- 
prise at  not  finding  it  might  derange  his  ideas  at  the  next  interrogation 
of  the  class,  and  give  me  a  chance  of  taking  him  down.  The  button  was 
therefore  removed  without  his  perceiving  it.  Great  was  my  anxietylo  know 
the  success  of  my  measure,  and  it  succeeded  but  too  well. 

«The  hour  of  interrogation  arrived,  and  the  boy  was  questioned:  he 
sought,  as  usual,  with  his  fingers,  for  the  friendly  button,  but  could  not 
find  it.  Disconcerted  he  looked  down,  the  talisman  was  gone,  his  ideas 
became  confused,  he  could  not  reply.  I  seized  the  opportunity,  answered 
the  question,  and  took  his  place,  which  he  never  recovered,  nor  do  I 
believe  he  ever  suspected  the  author  of  the  trick. 

«I  have  often  met  with  him  since  we  entered  the  world,  and  never 
without  feeling  my  conscience  reproach  me.  Frequently  have  I  resolved

30.  Sheridan. 


Sheridan  was  one  day  much  annoyed  by,  a  fellow  member  of  the  House 
of  Commons,  who  kept  crying  out  every  few  minutes:  «Hear!  hear!» 
During  the  debate  he  took  occasion  to  describe  a  political  cotemporary 
who  wished  to  play  the  rogue,  but  had  only  sense  enough  to.act  the  fool. 
« Where » ,  exclaimed  he,  with  great  emphasis,  uwhere  shall  we  find  a 
more  foolish  knave  or  a  more  knavish  fool  than  he?»  «Hear!  hear!»  was 
shouted  by  the  troublesome  member,  Sheridan  turned  round,  and,  thank- 
ing him  for  the  prompt  reply,  sat  down  amid  a  general  roar  of  laughter.

31.  The  Value  of  Time. 

King  Alfred,  who  ascended  the  throne  of  England  in  871  (eight  hun- 
dred and  seventy  one),  and  who,  lik^e  Charlemagne,  by  his  magnanimity 
and  wise  government,  acquired  the  title  of  the  Great,  was  a  prudent  econ- 
omist of  time,  well  knowing  that  a  moment  lost  can  never  be  recovered. 
Alfred  wished  to  divide  the  day  into  equal  proportions,  in  order  to  nppro- 
priate  a  certain  space  of  time  to  the  accomplishment  of  the  different  objects 
he  had  in  view. 

This  was  not  an  easy  matter,  as  clocks  were  at  that  time  nearly  un- 
known in  Europe,  and  quite  so  in  England.  It  is  true  that  in  fine  weather 
the  flight  of  time  could  be  marked,  in  some  degree,  by  the  course  of  the 
sun;  but  in  the  night,  and  when  the  sun  was  hidden  by  clouds,  there 
were  no  means  of  judging. 

The.  King,  after  much  reflection,  and  many  experiments,  ordered  a 
certain  quantity  of  wax  to  be  made  into  six  candles  of  equal  length  and 


—    28    — 

thickness,  which  being  lighted  one  after  the  other ,  as  he  had  found  by 
experience^  would  last  from  mid- day  to  mid- day.  On  each  of  these  candles, 
he  marked  twelve  divisions  or  inches,  so  that  he  knew  nearly  hovv  the 
day  was  going,  as  the  consumption  of  each  candle  marked  the  expiration 
of  a  sixth  part,  or  about  four  hours,  and  each  division  or  inch  denoted 
the  lapse  of  twenty  minutes. 

By  these  means  Alfred  obtained  what  he  desired,  an  exact  admeasure- 
ment of  time;  and  the  improvements  which  took  place  during  his  reign 
show  that  both  the  King  and  his  people  had  learned  to  appreciate  its  value.

32,  Peter  the  Great. 

It  was  the  custom  of  Peter  the  Great  to  visit  the  different  workshops 
and  manufactories,  not  only  to  encourage  them,  but  also  to  judge  what 
other  useful  establishments  might  be  formed  in  his  dominions.  Among 
the  places  he  visited  frequently,  were  the  forges  of  Mr.  Muller  at  Istia, 
ninety  versts  from  Moscow.  The  Czar  once  passed  a  whole  month  there, 
during  which  time,  after  giving  due  attention  to  the  affairs  of  state,  which 
he  never  neglected,  he  amused  himself  with  seeing  and  examining  every 
thing  in  the  most  minute  manner,  and  even  employed  himself  in  learning 
the  business  of  a  blacksmith.  He  succeeded  so  well,  that  on  one  of  the 
last  days  of  his  remaining  there,  he  forged  eighteen  poods  of  iron,  and 
put  his  own  particular  mark  on  each  bar.  The  boyars,  and  other  noblemen 
of  his  suite  were  employed  in  blowing  the  bellows,  stirring  the  fire,  car- 
rying coals,  and  performing  the  other  duties  of  a  blacksmith's  assistant. 

When  Peter  had  finished,  he  went  to  the  proprietor,  praised  his  ma- 
nufactory ,  and  asked  him  how  much  he  gave  his  workmen  per  pood. 


—    29    - 

«Three  copeeks,  or  an  altina»,  answered  Muller.  «Very  well»,  replied 
the  Czar,  «I  have  then  earned  eighteen  altinas».  Muller  fetched  eighteen 
ducats,  offered  them  to  Peter,  and  told  him,  that  he  could  not  give  a 
workman  like  his  Majesty  less  per  pood.  Peter  refused.  «Keep  your  duc- 
ats«  ,  said  he,  «I  have  not  wrought  better  than  any  other  man;  give  me 
what  you  would  give  to  another;  1  want  to  buy  a  pair  of  shoes,  of  which 
I  am  in  great  need».  At  the  same  time  he  showed  him  his  shoes,  which 
had  been  once  mended,  and  were  again  full  of  holes.  Peter  accepted  the 
eighteen  altinas,  and  bought  himself  a  pair  of  new  shoes,  which  he  used 
to  show  with  much  pleasure,  saying:  ((These  I  earned  with  the  sweat  of 
my  brow)). 

One  of  the  bars  of  iron  forged  by  Peter  the  Great ,  and  authenticated 
by  his  mark,  is  still  to  be  seen  at  Istia,  in  the  forge  of  Muller.  Another 
similar  bar  is  preserved  in  the-  cabinet  of  curiosities  at  St.  Petersburgh.

33,  Newton  and  the  Shepherd  Boy. 

This  Hlustrious  philosopher  was  once  riding  over  Salisbury  plain,  when 
a  boy  keeping  sheep  called  to  him:  «Sir,  you  had  better  make  haste  on, 
or  you  will  get  a  wet  jacket*.  Newton,  looking  around,  and  observing 
neither  clouds  nor  a  speck  on  the  horizon,  jogged  on,  taking  very  little 
notice  of  the  rustic's  information.  He  had  made  but  a  few  miles,  when  a 
storm,  suddenly  arising,  wet  him  to  the  skin.  Surprised  at  the  circum- 


—   30    —     ^ 

stance,  and  determined,  if  possible,  to  ascertain  how  an  ignorant  boy  had 
attained  a  precision  and  knowledge  in  the  weather,  of  which  the  wisest 
philosopher  would  be  proud,  he  rode  back,  wet  as  he  was.  «My  lad», 
said  Newton,  «ril  give  thee  a  guinea,  if  thou  wilt  tell  me  how  thou  canst 
foretell  the  weather  so  truly».  '^Will  ye,  Sir?  I  will,  then»,  said  the  boy, 
scratching  his  head,  and  holding  out  his  hand  for  the  guinea.  «Now,Sir» 
(having  received  the  money,  and  pointing  to  the  sheep),  «when  you  see 
that  black  ram  turn  his  tail  towards  the  wind,  'tis  a  sure  sign  of  rain 
within  an  hour».  «What!«  exclaimed  the  philosopher,  «must  I,  in  order 
to  foretell  the  weather ,  stay  here  and  watch  which  way  that  black  ram 
turns  his  tail?»  «Yes,  Sir».  Off  rode  Newton,  quite  satisfied  with  his  dis- 
covery, but  not  much  inclined  to  avail  himself  of  it,  or  to  recommend  it 
to  others.

34.  Almanac  Weather  Wisdom. 

An  English  paper  tells  a  pleasing  anecdote  o  f  Partridge,  the  celebra- 
ted almanac  maker, about  one  hundred  years  since.  In  travelling  on  horse- 
back into  the  country,  he  stopped  for  his  dinner  at  an  inn,  and  afterwards 
called  for  his  horse,  that  he  might  reach  the  next  town,  where  he  intended 
to  sleep. 

If  you  will  take  my  advice,  Sir,»  said  the  hostler,  as  he  was  about 
to  mount  his  horse,  «you  will  stay  where  you  are  for  the  night,  as  you 
will  surely  be  overtaken  by  a  pelting  rain » . 

"Nonsense,  nonsense »,  exclaimed  the  almanac  maker »;  «thereisa  six- 
pence for  you,  my  honest  fellow,  and  good  afternoon  to  you». 

He  proceeded  on  his  journey,  and  sure  enough  he  was  well  drenched 
in  a  heavy  shower.  Partridge  was  struck  by  the  man's  prediction,  and 
being  always  intent  on  the  interest  of  his  almanac,  he  rode  back  on  the 
instant,  and  was  received  by  the  hostler  with  a  broad  grin, 

tiWell,  Sir,  you  see  I  was  right  after  all». 


-_    SI    — 

«Yes,  my  lad,  you  have  been  so,  and  here  is  a  crown  for  you;  but  I 
give  it  to  you  on  condition  that  you  tell  me  how  you  knew  of  this  rain ». 

«To  be  sure,  Sir»,  replied  the  man;  «why ,  the  truth  is  we  have  an 
almanac  at  our  house  called  Partridge's  il/manac,  and  the  fellow  is  such 
a  notorious  liar,  that  whenever  he  promises  us  a  fine  day,  we  always 
know  that  it  will  be  the  direct  contrary.  Now,  your  Honour,  this  day,  the 
21st  of  June,  is  put  down  in  our  almanac  indoors  as  «settledfine  weather; 
no  rain».  I  looked  at  that  before  I  brought  your  Honour's  horse  out,  and 
so  was  enabled  to  put  you  oo  your  guard».

35.  Singular  Cases  of  Inability  to  Distinguish  Colours. 

Mr.  Harris,  a  shoemaker  at  Allonby,  was  unable  from  infancy  to  dis- 
tinguish the  cherries  of  a  cherrytree  from  its  leaves,  in  so  far  as  colours 
were  concerned.  Two  of  his  brothers  were  equally  defective  in  this  re- 
spect, and  always  mistook  orange  for  grass  green,  and  light  green  for 
yellow.  Harris  himself  could  only  distinguish  black  from  white.  Mr.  Scott, 
who  describes  his  own  case  in  the  « Philosophical  Transactions »,  mistook 
pink  for  a  pale  blue,  and  afullr^rffor  a  full  green.  All  kinds  of  yellows 
and  blues,  except  sky  blue,  he  could  discern  with  great  nicety.  His  father, 
his  maternal  uncle,  one  of  his  sisters,  and  her  two  sons,  had  all  the  same 
defect.  A  tailor  at  Plymouth,  whose  case  is  described  by  Mr.  Harvey, 
regarded  the  solar  spectrum  as  consisting  only  oi  yellow  md  light  blue., 
and  he  could  distinguish  with  certainty  only  yellow,  while,  and  green. 
He  regarded  indigo  and  Prussian  blue  as  black,

36.  Alick. 

There  is  still  living  at  Stirling  a  blind  old  beggar,  known  to  all  the 
country  round  by  the  name  of  Alick,  who  possesses  a  memory  of  almost 
incalculable  strength.  It  was  observed  with  astonishment,  that  when  he 
was  a  man,  and  obliged  by  the  death  of  his  parents  to  gain  a  livelihood 
by  begging  through  the  streets  of  his  native  town  of  Stirling,  he  knew 
the  whole  of  the  Bible,  both  Old  and  New  Testaments,  by  heart;  from 
which  you  may  repeat  any  passage, and  he  will  tell  you  thechapter  and  verse; 
or  you  may  tell  him  the  chapter  and  verse,  and  he  will  repeat  to  you  the 
passage,  word  for  word.  Not  long  since,  a  gentleman,  to  puzzle  him, 
read,  with  a  slight  verbal  alteration,  averse  of  the  Bible.  Alick  hesitated 
a  moment,  and  then  told  where  it  was  to  be  found,  but  said  it  had  not 
been  correctly  delivered.  He  then  gave  it  as  it  stood  in  the  book,  cor- 
recting the  slight  error  that  had  been  purposely  introduced.  The  gentleman 
then  asked  him  for  the  ninetieth  verse  of  the  seventh  chapter  of  Numbers. 
Alick  was  again  puzzled  for  a  moment,  but  then  said  hastily:  «You  are 
fooling  me,  Sir!  there  is  no  such  verse.  That  chapter  has  only  eighty- 
nine  verses ».  Several  other  experiments  of  the  sort  were  tried  upon  him 
with  the  same  success.  He  has  often  been  questioned  the  day  after  hearing 
any  particular  sermon  or  speech;  and  his  examiners  have  invariably  found 
that,  had  their  patience  aUowed,  blind  Alick  would  have  given  them  the 
sermon  or  speech.

37,  Professor  Por so II. 

Professor  Porson,  when  a  boy  at  Eton  School,    discovered  tlie  most 
astonishing  powers  of  memory.  In  going  up  to  a  lesson  one  day,  he  was 


—    33    - 

• 

accosted  by  a  boy  on  the  same  form,  «Porson,  wliat  have  you  got  there?* 
« Horace*.  Let  me  look  at  it».  Person  handed  the  book  to  the  boy,  who, 
pretending  to  return  it,  dexterously  substituted  another  in  its  place,  with 
which  Porson  proceeded.  Being  called  on  by  the  master,  he  read  and  con- 
strued Carm.  I,  X.  very  regularly.  Observing  the  class  to  laugh,  the  master 
said:  « Porson,  you  seem  to  be  reading  on  one  side  of  the  page,  while  I 
am  looking  at  the  other;  pray,  whose  edition  have  you?)>  Porson  hesita- 
ted. «Let  me  see  it»,  rejoined  the  master  who,  to  his  great  surprise, 
found  it  to  be  an  English  Ovid.  Porson  was  ordered  to  go  on,  which  he  did 
easily,  correctly  and  promptly,  to  the  end  of  the  ode.

38.  The  Travelling  Library. 

Professor  Porson,  the  celebrated  Grecian,  was  once  travelling  in  a 
stage-coach,  where  a  young  Oxonian,  fresh  from  coUege,  was  amusing 
the  ladies  with  a  variety  of  talk,  and  amongst  other  things,  with  a  quo- 
,tation,  as  he  said,  from  Sophocles.  A' Greek  quotation,  and  in  a  coach 
ioo,  roused  the  slumbering  professor  from  a  kind  of  dog-sleep,  in  a  snug 
corner  of  the  vehicle.  Shaking  his  ears  and  rubbing  his  eyes,  «I  think, 
young  gentleman « ,  said  he, «  you  favoured  us  just  now  with  a  quotation  from 
Sophocles;  1  do  not  happen  to  recollect  it  there ».  «0,  Sir»,  replied  the  tyro, 
«the  quotation  is  word  for  word  as  I  have  repeated  it,  and  from  Sophocles, 
too;  but  I  suspect.  Sir,  it  is  some  time  since  you  were  at  college*.  The 
professor,  applying  his  hand  to  his  great-coat  pocket,  and  taking  out  a 
smaH  pocket  edition  of  Sophocles,  quietly  asked  him  if  he  would  be  kind 
enough  to  show  him  the  passage  in  question  in  that  little  book.  After 
rummaging  the  pages  for  some  time,  he  replied:  «Upon  second  thoughts, 
I  now  recoHect  that  the  passage  is  in  Euripides*.  «Then,  perhaps,  Sir», 
said  the  professor,  putting  his  hand  again  into  his  pocket,  and  handing 
him  a  similar  edition  of  Euripides,  «you  wiH  be  so  good  as  to  find  it  for 

5 


—   34   — 

me  in  that  little  book«.  The  young  Oxonian  again  returned  to  his  task, 
but  with  no  better  success,  muttering,  however,  to  himself  a  vow  never 
again  to  quote  Greek  in  a  stage-coach.  The  tittering  of  the  ladies  informed 
him  plainly  that  he  had  got  into  a  hobble.  At  last,  «Why,  Sir»,  said  he, 
«how  dull  I  am!  I  recollect  now;  yes,  now  I  perfectly  remember  that 
the  passage  is  in  Aeschylus».  The  inexorable  professor  returned  to  his 
inexhaustible  pocket,  and  was  in  the  act  of  handing  him  an  Aeschylus, 
when  our  astonished  freshman  vociferated:  «Coachman!  holloa,  coachman! 
let  me  out;  I  say  instantly  let  me  out!  There's  a  fellow  here  has  the  whole 
Bodleian  library  in  his  pocket*.

39.  The  National  Debt  of  Euglaod. 

If  a  man  was  employed  to  count  the  national  debt  o1f  England,  suppos- 
ing he  reckoned  100  pieces  every  minute  for  12  hours  a  day,  it  would 
require  30  years  to  count  it  in  sovereigns,  600  years  to  count  it  in  silver, 
and  14,400  years  to  count  it  in  copper. 

In  shillings  placed  in  a  line,  it  would  reach  ten  times  round  the  earth, 
or  once  to  the  moon  (240,000  miles). 

Its  weight  in  gold  is  5,625  tons,  in  silver  89,000  tons,  in  copper 
2,140,000  tons. 

It  would  take  100  barges,  56  tons  burden  each,  to  carry  it  in  gold, 
1600  barges  to  carry  it  in  silver,  or  382,000  barges  to  carry  it  in  copper. 
These  wouldreach  5000  miles,  if  placed  close  to  one  another. 

To  carry  it  in  copper,  it  would  take  upwards  of  2,100,000  of  carts, 
each  one  ton;  to  carry  it  in  silver,  nearly  90,000  carts,  and  to  carry  it 
in  gold,  5,625  carts.

40,  Doing  Justice  io  the  Consonants. 

Mr.  Jones,  in  his  life  of  Bishop  Home,  speaking  of  Dr.  Hiochcliffe, 
Bishop  of  Peterborough,  says,  that  in  the  pulpit  he  spoke  with  the  accent 
of  a  man  of  sense,  such  as  he  reaUy  was  in  a  superior  degree;  but  it  was 
remarkable,  and,  to  those  who  did  notknow  the  cause,  mysterious,  that 
there  was  not  a  corner  of  the  church,  in  which  he  could  not  be  heard 
distinctly.  The  reason  whichMr.  Jones  assigned  was,  that  he  made  it  an 
invariable  rule  to  do  justice  to  every  consonant,  knowing  that  the 
vowels  would  speak  for  themselves.  And  thus  he  became  the  surest 
and  clearest  of  speakers;  his  elocution  was  perfect,  and  never  disappointed 

his  audience.

41.  Vulgar  Pronunciation, 

One  of  the  peculiarities  of  vulgar  English  pronunciation  is  to  put  the 
letter  r  at  the  end  of  words  ending  with  a  vowel.  Some  of  the  inhabitiints 
of  London,  if  they  had  to  speak  the  following  sentence,  «A  fellow  broke 
the  window,  and  hit  Isabella  on  the  elbow,  as  she  was  playing  a  sonata 
on  the  piano »,  would  give  it  in  the  following  manner:  «A  fellor  broke  the 
windor,  and  hit  Isabellar  on  the  elbor,  as  she  was  playing  a  sonatar  on 
the  pianor».  Others  adopt  the  contrary  plan,  and  leave  out  the  r  as  often 
as  they  can.  There  are  magistrates  of  high  pretensions  to  education,  who 
would  say,  «The  conduct  of  the  prisna'  and  his  general  characta' render 


—    36   — 

it  propa'  that  he  should  no  longa'bea  memba'  of  this  community*.  Equally 
glaring  is  the  taking  away  of  h  from  places  where  it  is  required,  and 
giving  it  where  its  absence  is  desirable.  The  termination  of  words  ending 
ming  with  a  /c,  as  somethink^  is  not  less  incorrect  or  less  disagreeable. 
It  is  worth  while  accasionally  to  point  out  these  errors,  as  many  must  be 
disposed  to  correct  them,  on  being  made  aware  of  their  existence.

42.  Lying  Punished. 

One  day  there  happened  a  tremendous  storm  of  lightning  and  thunder 
as  Archbishop  Leighton  was  gcing  from  Glasgow  to  Dunblane.  He  was 
descried,  when  at  a  distance,  by  two  men  of  bad  character.  They  had 
not  courage  to  rob  him;  but,  wishing  to  fall  on  some  method  of  extorting 
money  from  him,  one  said:  «I  will  lie  down  by  the  wayside  as  if  I  were 
dead,  and  you  shall  inform  the  archbishop  that  I  was  killed  by  the  light- 
ning, and  beg  money  of  him  to  bury  rae».  When  the  archbishop  arrived 
at  the  spot,  the  wicked  wretch  told  him  the  fabricated  story.  He  sympa- 
thised with  the  surviver,  gave  him  money,  and  proceeded  on  his  journey. 
But,  when  the  man  returned  to  his  companion,  he  found  him  really  lifeless! 
Immediately  he  began  to  exclaim  aloud:  «0h,  Sir,  he  is  dead!  Oh,  Sir, 
he  is  dead! »  On  this  the  archbishop,  discovering  the  fraud,  left  the  man 
with  this  important  reflection:  «It  is  a  dangerous  thing  to  trifle  with  the 
judgments  of  God  ! »

Mr.  Dodd,  an  eminent  minister,  being  solicitedtoplay  at  cards,  arose 
from  his  seat,  and  uncovered  his  head.  The  company  asked  him  what  he 
was  going  to  do.  He  replied:  « To  crave  Grod's  blessings.  They  immediately 
exclaimed:  « We  never  ask  a  blessing  on  such  an  occasion».  «Then»,

44.  Private  Prayer. 

<(  Acknoivledge  the  Lord  in  all  thy  wat/s,  and  he  shall  direct  thy 
paths)y.  Prov.  An  English  clergyman,  preaching  from  this  text, observed 
as  follows: 

« Archbishop  Cranmer,  who  died  a  martyr,  said  that  the  day  he  signed 
his  recantation  back  to  popery  he  omitted  private  prayer  in  the  morning. 
This  brought  to  my  recollection  the  two  memorable  occurrences  of  my 
life,  when  I  omitted  private  prayer,  and  went  to  my  business.  On  each 
day  I  had  an  accident  that  nearly  cost  me  my  life;  but  in  mercy  I  was 
spared  to  my  family.  Private  prayer  is  a  high  privilege.  I  cannot  neglect 
it  any  more  than  I  can  neglect  my  food,  it  is  my  grand  stay  for  each  day; 
and  I  feel  that,  unless  I  acknowledge  God  herein,  I  have  no  right  to 
expect  his  guidance  and  protection «.

45.  The  Praying   Little  Girl. 

A  little  girl  in  London,  about  four  years  of  age,  was  one  day  playing 
with  her  companions.  Taking  them  by  the  hand,  she  led  them  to  a  shed 
in  the  yard,  and  asked  them  all  to  kneel  down,  as  she  was  going  to  pray 


—    38   — 

to  God  Almighty;  «but  don't  yoii  tell  my  mamma >> ,  said  she,  «for  she 
never  prays,  and  would  beat  me,  if  she  knew  that  I  do». 

Instead  of  keeping  the  secret,  one  of  her  playmates  went  directly,  and' 
told  this  little  girl's  mother,  who  was  very  much  struck,  bat  for  the  pres- 
ent took  no  notice.  Some  time  after,  on  her  going  in  doors,  her  mother 
asked  her  what  she  had  been  doing  in  the  yard;  she  tried  to  avoid  giving 
a  direct  answer.  The  question  being  repeated,  the  answer  was  the  same; 
when  her  mother,  however,  promised  not  to  be  angry  with  her,  and  press- 
ed the  inquiry  by  very  kind  words,  she  said:  «I  have  been  praying  to 
God  Almighty».  «But  why  do  you  pray  to  him»  ?  «Because  I  know  he 
hears  me,  and  I  love  to  pray  to  him».  «But  how  do  you  know  he  hears 
you»?  This  was  a  difficult  question,  indeed,  but  mark  her  reply;  putting 
her  little  hand  to  her  heart,  she  said:  «0h,  I  know  he  does».  This  lan- 
guage pierced  her  mother's  heart,  who  was  a  stranger  to  prayer,  and  she 
wept  bitterly. 

Let  good  children,  therefore,  do  as  this  little  girl  did,  bow  their  knees 
before  God  Almighty;  and,  however  short  and  feeble  their  little  prayers, 
they  may  be  sure  he  hears  them  if  they  are  offered  in  earnest;  for  he 
says:  «I  love  them  that  love  me;  and  they  that  seek  me  early  shall  find  me« .

46.  A  better  Rule  tlian  «E  xpediency». 

Lord  Erskine,  when  at  the  bar,  was  always  remarkable  for  the  fear- 
lessness with  which  he  contended  against  the  bench.  In  a  contest  he  had 
with  Lord  Kenyon ,  he  explained  the  rule  and  conduct  at  the  bar  in  the 
following  terms:  «It  was»  ,  said  he,  «the  first  command  and  council  of 
my  youth,  always  to  do  what  my  conscience  told  me  to  be  my  duty,an(l 
leave  the  consequences  to  God.  I  have  hitherto  followed  it,  and  have  no

47.  The  Missionary  Mouey-box. 

A  few  weeks  since  a  trading  vessel,  laden  with  corn,  from  Cardigan, 
in  Wales,  was  taken  in  the  channel  by  an  American  privateer.  When  the 
captain  went  into  the  cabin  to  survey  his  prize,  he  espied  a  little  box,  with 
a  hole  in  the  top,  similar  to  that  which  tradesmen  have  in  their  counters, 
through  which  they  drop  their  money;  and  at  the  sight  of  it  he  seemed  a  little 
surprised,  and  said  to  the  Welsh  captain:  «What  is  this? » pointing  to  the 
box  with  his  stick.  «0h»,  said  the  honest  Cambrian,  « 'tis  all  over  now. » 
«What?»  asked  the  American.  «Why,  the  truth  is»,  replied  the  Welsh 
captain,  « that  I  and  my  poor  fellows  have  been  accustomed,  every  Monday, 
to  drop  a  penny  each  into  that  box,  for  the  purpose  of  sending  out  mis- 
sionaries to  preach  the  gospel  to  the  heathen^  but  it  is  all  over  noW"! 
«Ah»!  said  the  American,  «that  is  very  good»;  and,  after  pausing  a  few 
minutes,  he  said:  « Captain,  Til  not  hurt  a  hair  of  your  head,  nor  touch 
yourvesseb).  The  pious  Welshman  was  accordingly  allowed  to  pursue  his 
voyage  unmolested.

48.  Dr.  Franklin  on  Prayer. 

When  the  American  Convention  was  framing  their  constitution ,  Dr. 
Franklin  asked  them  how  it  happened  that,  while  groping,  as  it  were,  in 
the  dark  to  find  political  truth,  they  had  not  once  thought  of  humbly 
applying  to  the  Father  of  lights  to  illumine  their  understandings.  »I  have 
lived,  Sir»,  said  he,  «a  long  time,  and  the  longer  I  live,  the  more  con- 
vincing proofs  I  see  of  this  truth,  that  God  governs  in  the  affairs  of  men;

and  if  a  sparrow  cannot  fall  to  the  ground  without  his  notice,  is  it  pro- 
bable that  an  empire  can  rise  without  his  aid?  We  have  been  assured,  Sir, 
in  the  Sacred  Writings,  that,  except  the  Lord  build  the  house,  they  la- 
bour in  vain  that  build  it.  I  firmly  believe  this;  and  I  also  believe  that  with- 
out his  concurring  aid  we  shall  succeed  in  tliis  political  building  no  better 
than  the  builders  of  Babel.  We  shall  be  divided  by  our  little  partial  local 
interests;  our  project  will  be  confounded,  and  we  ourselves  become  a 
reproach  and  a  byword  down  to  future  ages».  He  then  moved  that  prayers 
should  be  performed  in  that  assembly  every  morning  before  they  proceeded 
to  business.

49.  Washington. 

One  Reuben  Rouzy,  of  Virginia,  owed  the  general  about  one  thousand 
pounds.  While  President  of  the  United  States,  one  of  his  agents, brought 
an  action  for  the  money;  judgment  was  obtained,  and  execution  issued 
against  the  body  of  the  defendant  who  was  taken  to  jail.  He  had  a  con- 
siderable  landed  estate;  but  this  kind  of  property  cannot  be  sold  in  Virginia 
for  debts  unless  at  the  discretion  of  the  person.  He  had  a  large  family, 
and  for  the  sake  of  his  children  preferred  lying  in  jail  to  selling  his  land. 
A  friend  hinted  to  him  that  probably  General  Washington  did  not  know 
anything  of  the  proceeding,  and  that  it  might  be  well  to  send  him  a  pe- 
tition, with  a  statement  of  the  circumstances.  He  did  so,  and  the  very 
next  post  from  Philadelphia  after  the  arrival  of  his  petition  in  that  city 
brought  him  an  order  for  his  immediate  release,  together  with  a  full  dis- 
charge, and  a  severe  reprimand  to  the  agent  for  having  acted  in  such  a 
manner.  Poor  Rouzy  was,  in  consequence,  restored  to  his  family,  who 
never  laid  down  their  heads  at  night  without  presenting  prayers  to  Hea- 
ven for  their  «beloved  Washington «.  Providence  smiled  upon  the  la- 
bours of  the  grateful  family,  and  in  a  few  years  Rouzy  enjoyed  the  ex- 
quisite pleasure  of  being  able  to  lay  the  one  thousand  pounds,  with  the 
interest,  at  the  feet  of  this  truly  great  man.  Washington  reminded  him  that 
the  debt  was  discharged;  Rouzy  replied,  the  debt  of  his  family  to  the 
father  of  their  country  and  preserver  of  their  parent  could  never  be  dis- 
charged; and  the  General,  to  avoid  the  pleasing  importunity  of  the  grateful 


—    41    — 

Virginian,  who  would  not  be  denied,  accepted  the  money,  only,  however, 
to  divide  it  among  Rouzy's  children,  which  he  immediately  did.

50.  An  Illiislralioii  of  a  Special  Providence  aod  of  the  Power 

of  Prayer. 

Captain  H.  and  crew  sailed  some  time  since  from  the  port  of. —  After 
haying  been  at  sea  for  several  days  they  were  assailed  by  an  unusually 
severe  storm,  which  continued  forty-five  days  and  nights  in  succession. 
They  were  driven  far  from  their  course  by  the  violence  of  the  wind.  Nature 
had  become  nearly  exhausted  by  hard  and  long  toiling;  and,  to  add  to 
their  affliction, famine  began  to  threaten  them  with  a  death  far  moreappalling 
than  that  of  a  watery  grave. 

The  captain  had  with  him  his  wife,  two  daughters,  and  ten  persons 
besides.  As  their  provisions  grew  short,  his  wife  became  provident  and 
careful  of  the  pittance  that  fell  to  their  family  share.  She  would  eat  but 
little  lest  her  husband  should  starve.  The  children  would  eat  but  little  for 
fear  the  mother  would  suffer,  and  the  captain  refused  to  eat  any,  but  left 
his  portion  for  his  suffering  family.  At  length  they  were  reduced  to  a  scanty 
allowance  for  twenty-four  hours,  in  the  midst  of  a  storm  and  one  thousand 
miles  from  land .  Captain  H.  was  a  man  who  feared  God.  In  this  his  extremity 
he  ordered  his  steward  to  bring  the  remaining  provision  on  deck,  and 
spread  the  same  on  the  tarpawling  which  covers  the  hatch;  and,  falling 
down  beside  the  fragments  of  bread  and  meat  before  him,  he  lifted  up  his 
voice  in  prayer  to  Him  who  heareth  out  of  the  deep,  and  said:  «0  thou 
who  didst  feed  Elijah  by  a  raven  while  in  the  wilderness,  and  who  com- 
maudedst  that  the  widow's  cruise  of  oil  and  barrel  of  meal  should  not  fail, 
look  .down  upon  us  in  our  present  distress,  and  grant  that  this  food  may 
be  so  multiplied  that  the  lives  now  in  jeopardy  may  be  preserved*.  After 
this  he  rose  from  his  knees,  went  to  the  companion  way,  and  found  his 

6 


—  42    - 

wife  and  children  engaged  in  the  same  holy  exercise.  He  exhorted  them 
to  pray  on,  and  assured  them  that  God  had  answered  his  prayer,  and  that 
not  one  soul  then  on  board  should  perish.  Scarcely  had  he  uttered  these 
words  when  his  mate ,  who  had  been  at  the  masthead  for  some  time  on 
the  look-out,  exclaimed:  «Sail  ahoy,  sail  ahoy! »  At  this  crisis  the  captain 
shouted  with  swelling  gratitude: « What,  has  God  sent  the  ravens  already! » 
and  in  one  hour  from  that  time,  through  the  friendly  sail,  barrels  of  bread 
and  meat  were  placed  upon  the  deck.

51.  The  Bible  a  Shield  for  Soul  and  Body. 

When  Oliver  Cromwell  entered  upon  the  command  of  the  parliament's 
army  against  Charles  1,  he  ordered  all  his  soldiers  to  carry  a  Bible  in 
their  pockets.  Among  the  rest  there  was  a  wild,  wicked  young  fellow, 
who  ran  away  from  his  apprenticeship  in  London  for  the  sake  of  plunder 
and  dissipation.  This  fellow  was  obliged  to  be  in  the  fashion.  Being  one 
day  ordered  out  upon  a  skirmishing  party,  or  to  attack  some  fortress,  he 
returned  back  to  his  quarters  in  the  evening  without  hurt.  When  he  was 
going  to  bed,  pulling  the  Bible  out  of  his  pocket,  he  observed  a  hole  in 
it.  His  curiosity  led  him  to  trace  the  depth  of  this  hole  into  his  Bible; 
he  found  a  bullet  was  gone  as  far  as  Ecclesiastes  XI,  9.  He  read  the 
verse:  « Rejoice,  oh  young  man,  in  thy  youth,  and  let  thy  heart  cheer 
thee  in  the  days  of  thy  youth,  and  walk  in  the  ways  of  thy  heart,  and 
in  the  sight  of  thine  eyes;  but  know  thou  that  for  all  these  things  God 
will  bring  thee  into  judgments.  The  words  were  set  home  upon  his  heart 
by  the  Divine  Spirit,  so  that  he  became  a  sound  believer  in  the  Lord 
Jesus  Christ,  and  lived  in  London  many  years  after  the  civil  wars. were 
over.  He  used  pleasantly  to  observe  to  Dr.  Evans,  author  of  the  Christian 
Temper,  that  the  Bible  was  the  means  of  saving  both  his  soul  and  body.

52.  Houesty  the  Best  Policy. 

Some  years  since  there  resided  in  a  country  village  a  poor  but  worthy 
clergyman  who  ,  Avith  the  small  stipend  of  forty  pounds  per  annum, 
supported  himself,  a  wife,  and  seven  children.  At  one  time,  walking  and 
meditating  in  the  fields,  in  much  distress  from  the  narrowness  of  his 
circumstances,  he  stumbled  on  a  purse  of  gold-  Looking  round,  in  vain, 
to  find  its  owner,  he  carried  it  home  to  his  wife,  who  advised  him  to 
employ  at  least  a  part  of  it  in  extricating  them  from  their  present  difficulty; 
but  he  conscientiously  refused  until  he  had  used  his  utmost  endeavours 
to  find  out  its  former  proprietor,  assuring  her  that  honesty  is  always 
the  best  policy.  After  a  short  time  it  was  owned  by  a  gentleman  who 
lived  at  some  little  distance,  to  whom  the  clergyman  returned  it  without 
any  other  reward  than  thanks.  On  the  good  man's  return,  his  wife  could 
not  help  reproaching  the  gentleman  with  ingratitude,  and  censuring  the 
over-scrupulous  honesty  of  her  husband;  but  he  only  replied  as  before, 
honesty  is  the  best  policy.  A  few  months  after  this  the  curate  received 
an  invitation  io  dine  with  the  aforesaid  gentleman;  who,  after  hospitably 
entertaining  him,  gave  him  the  presentation  to  a  living  of  three  hundred 
pounds  per  annum,  to  which  he  added  a  bill  of  fifty  pounds  for  present 
necessities.  The  curate,  after  making  suitable  acknowledgements  to  his 
benefactor,  returned  with  joy  to  his  wife  and  family,  acquainting  them 
with  the  happy  change  in  his  circumstances,  and  adding  that  he  hoped 
she  would  now  be  convinced  that  honesty  was  the  best  policy^  to 
which  she  readily  assented.

53.  Remarkable  Escape  from  Danger. 

There  is  a  singular  adventure,  recorded  by  Ihe  Captain  of  a  Guinea- 
man,  and  as  it  is  not  very  long,  it  will  be  here  related  in  the  Captain's 
own  words,  for  the  amusement  and  advantage  of  our  readers. 

The  ocean  was  very  smooth,  and  the  heat  very  great,  which  made  us 
so  languid,  that  almost  a  general  wish  overcame  us  on  the  approach  of 
the  evening,  to  bathe  in  the  waters  of  the  Congo.  However,  land  Johnson 
were  deterred  from  it  by  an  apprehension  of  Sharks,  many  of  which  we 
had  observed  in  the  progress  of  our  voyage,  and  those  very  large.  — Camp- 
bell alone,  who  had  been  drinking  too  much,  was  obstinately  bent  on  going 
over  board,  and  although  we  us'ed  every  means  in  our  power  to  persuade 
him  to  the  contrary,  he  dashed  into  the  water,  and  had  swum  some  distance 
from  the  vessel,  when  we  on  board  discovered  an  alligator,  making  towards 
him  behind  a  rock  that  stood  a  short  distance  from  the  shore.— His  escape 
I  now  considered  impossible,  and  I  applied  to  Johnson  to  know  how  we 
should  act,  who,  like  myself,  affirmed  the  impossibility  ofsavinghim,  and 
instantly  seized  upon  a  loaded  carbine,  to  shoot  the  poor  fellow,  ere  he 
fell  into  the  jaws  of  the  monster.  1  did  not,  however,  consent  to  this,  but 
waited,  with  horror,  the  event;  yet,  willing  to  do  all  in  my  power,  I  or- 
dered the  boat  to  be  hoisted,  and  we  fired  two  shot  at  the  approaching 
alligator,  but  without  effect;  for  they  glided  over  his  scaly  covering,  like 
hail  stones  on  a  tiled  penthouse,  and  the  progress  of  the  creature  was  by 
no  means  impeded.  The  report  of  the  piece,  and  the  noise  of  the  blacks 
from  the  sloop,  soon  made  Campbell  acquainted  with  his  danger:  he  saw 
the  creature  making  towards  him,  and  with  all  the  strength  and  skill  he 
was  master  of,  he  made  for  the  shore.  And  now  the  moment  arrived,  in 
which  a  scene  was  exhibited,  beyond  the  power  of  my  humble  pen  per- 
fectly to  describe.  On  approaching  within  a  very  short  distance  of  some 
canes  and  shrubs,  that  covered  the  banks,  while  closely  pursued  by  the 
alligator,  a  fierce  and  ferocious  tiger  sprang  towards  him,  at  the  instant 
the  jaws  of  his  first  enemy  were  extended  to  devour  him.  —At  this  awful 


—    45    — 

moment  Campbell  was  preserved.  The  eager  tiger,  by  overleaping,  fell 
into  the  gripe  of  the  alligator.  A  horrible  conflict  then  ensued. — The  water 
was  coloured  with  the  blood  of  the  tiger,  whose  efforts  to  tear  the  scaly 
covering  of  the  alligator  were  unavailing,  while  the  latter  had  also  the 
advantage  of  keeping  his  adversary  underwater,  by  which  the  victory  was 
presently  obtained;  for  the  tiger's  death  was  now  effected.  They  both 
sunk  to  the  bottom,  and  we  saw  no  more  of  the  alligator.  Campbell  was 
recovered,  and  instantly  conveyed  on  board;  he  spoke  not,  while  in  the 
boat,  though  his  danger  had  sobered  him:  but  the  moment  he  leaped  on 
the  deck,  fell  on  his  knees,  and  returned  thanks  to  the  Providence  which 
had  so  protected  him;  and  what  is  most  singular,  from  that  moment  to 
the  time  I  am  now  writing,  he  has  never  been  seen  the  least  intoxicated, 
nor  has  been  heard  to  utter  a  single  oath.

54.  Ncwi'ouudland  Dogs. 

A  vessel  was  once  driven  by  a  storm  on  the  beach,  in  the  county  of 
Kent,  in  England.  Eight  men  were  calling  for  help,  but  not  a  boat  could 
be  got  off  for  their  assistance...  at  length  a  gentleman  came  on  the  beach 
accompanied  by  his  Newfoundland  dog.He  directed  the  attention  of  the  noble 
animal  to  the  vessel,  and  put  a  short  stick  into  his  mouth.  The  intelligent 
and  courageous  dog  at  onco  understood  his  meaning,  and  sprang  into  ihe 
sea,  fighting  his  way  through  the  foaming  waves.  He  could  not,  however, 
get  close  enough  to  the  vessel  to  deliver  that  with  which  he  was  charged, 
but  the  crew  joyfully,  made  fast  a  rope  to  another  piece  of  wood,  and  threw 
it  towards  him...  The  sagacious  dog  saw  the  whole  business  in  an  instant, 
he  dropped  his  own  piece,  and  immediately  seized  that  which  had  been 


—    46    — 

cast  tu  him;  and  then,  with  a  degree  of  strength  and  resolution  almost 
incredible,  he  dragged  it  through  the  surge,  and  delivered  it  to  his  master. . . 
By  this  means  a  line  ofcommunication  was  formed,  and  every  man  on  board 
saved. 

Sometimes  the  dog  is  rather  officious  in  his  demonstrations  of  affec- 
tion,  as  the  following  story  will  show.  —A  boatman  once  plunged  into 
the  water  to  swim  with  another  man  for  a  wager.  His  Newfoundland  dog, 
mistaking  the  purpose,  and  supposing  that  his  master  was  in  danger, 
plunged  after  him,  and  dragged  him  to  the  shore  by  his  hair,  to  the  great 
amusement  of  the  spectators.

55.  A  Priceless  Dog. 

A  gentleman  was  lately  returning  from  a  visit  to  New  -  Orleans,  in  a 
steamer,  with  but  a  few  passengers.  Among  the  ladies,  one  especially 
interested  him.  She  was  the  wife  of  a  wealthy  planter,  returning  with  an 
only  child  to  her  father's  house;  and  her  devotion  to  this  child  was  touching. 

While  passing  through  the  canal  of  Louisville,  the  steamer  stopped 
for  a  lew  moments  at  the  quay.  The  nurse,  wishing  to  see  the  city,  was 
stepping  ashore,  when  the  child  suddenly  sprang  from  her  arms  into  the 
terrible  current  that  swept  towards  the  falls, and  disappeared  immediately. 
The  confusion  which  ensued  attracted  the  attention  of  a  gentleman  who 
was  sitting  in  the  fore  part  of  the  boat,  quietly  reading.  Rising  hastily, 
he  asked  for  some  article  the  child  had  worn.  The  nurse  handed  him  a 
tiny  apron  she  had  torn  off  in  her  efforts  to  save  the  child  asitfell.  Turn- 
ing to  a  splendid  Newfoundland  dog  that  was  eagerly  watching  his  coun- 
tenance the  gentleman  pointed  first  to  the  apron,  and  then  to  the  spot  where 
the  child  had  sunk. 


—   47    - 

In  an  instant ,  the  noble  dog  leapt  into  the  water ,  and  disappeared. 
By  this  time  the  excitement  was  intense,  and  some  person  on  sliore  sup- 
posing that  the  dog  was  lost,  as  well  as  the  child,  procured  a  boat,  and 
started  to  search  for  the  body. 

Just  at  this  moment  the  dog  was  seen  far  away  with  something  in  his 
mouth.  Bravely  he  struggled  with  the  waves,  but  it  was  clear  his  strength 
was  failing  fast ,  and  more  than  one  breast  gave  a  sigh  of  relief  as  the 
boat  reached  him,  and  it  was  announced  that  he  was  still  alive.  They  were 
brought  on  board— the  dog  and  the  child. 

Giving  a  single  glance  to  satisfy  herself  that  the  child  was  really  living, 
the  young  mother  rushed  forward,  and  sinking  beside  the  dog,  threw  her 
arm  around  his  neck,  and  burst  into  tears.  Not  many  could  bear  the  sight 
unmoved  ,  and  as  she  caressed  and  kissed  his  shaggy  head ,  she  looked 
up  to  his  owner,  and  said: 

«0h,  sir,  I  must  have  this  dog,  take  all  I  have- — everything  —  but 
give  me  my  child's  preserver ». 

The  gentleman  smiled,  and  patting  his  dog's  head,  said:  «I  am  very 
glad  ,  madam  ,  he  4ias  been  of  service  to  you  ,  but  nothing  in  the  world 
could  induce  me  to  part  with  him». 

The  dog  looked  as  though  he  perfectly  understood  what  they  were 
talking  about ,  and  giving  his  sides  a  shake ,  laid  himself  down  at  his 
master's  feet,  with  an  expression  in  his  large  eyes,  that  said  plainer  than 
words:  «No!  nothing  shall  part  us».

56.  Caniue  Sagacity. 

The  following  story,  which  illustrates  in  a  singular  manner  the  com- 
munication of  ideas  between  dogs,  was  told  by  a  clergyman,  as  an  au- 
thentic anecdote. 

A  surgeon  of  Leeds  found  a  little  spaniel  who  had  been  lamed.  He 
carried  the  poor  animal  home,  bandaged  up  his  leg,  and,  after  two  or 
three  days,  turned  him  out.  —  The  dog  returned  to  the  surgeon's  house 
every  morning,  till  his  leg  was  perfectly  well.  At  the  end  of  several 
months,  the  spaniel  again  presented  himself,  in  company  with  another 
dog,  who  had  also  been  lamed;  and  he  intimated,  as  well  as  piteous  and 
intelligent  looks  could  intimate,  that  he  desired  the  same  kind  assistance 
to  be  rendered  to  his  friend,  as  had  been  bestowed  upon  himself.  A  si- 
milar circumstance  is  stated  to  have  occurred  to  Morant,  a  celebrated 
French  surgeon. 

The  following  instance  also  affords  a  remarkable  proof  of  the  saga- 
city of  these  animals.  —  A  British  officer  in  the  ^Mh  regiment,  who 
had  occasion  when  in  Paris,  to  pass  one  of  the  bridges  across  the  Seine, 
had  his  boots,  which  had  been  previously  well  polished,  dirtied  by  a 
poodle  dog  rubbing  against  them.  —  He  in  consequence,  went  to  a  man 
who  was  stationed  on  the  bridge,  and  had  them  cleaned.  —  The  same 
circumstance  having  occurred  more  than  once,  his  curiosity  was  excited, 
and  he  watched  the  dog.  He  saw  him  roll  himself  in  the  mud  of  the 
river,  and  then  watch  for  a  person  with  well  polished  boots,  against 
which  he  contrived  to  rub  himself.  —  Finding  that  the  shoe  black  was 
the  owner  of  the  dog,  he  taxed  him  with  the  artifice;  and  after  a  little 
hesitation,  he  confessed,  that  he  had  taught  the  dog  the  trick  in  order 
to  procure  customers  for  himself.  The  officer  being  much  struck  with  the 
dog's  sagacity,  purchased  him  at  a  high  price,  and  brought  him  to  Eng- 
land.  He  kept  him  tied  up  in  London  for  some  time,  and  then  released 
him.  The  dog  remained  with  him  a  day  or  two,  and  then  made  his  es- 
cape. A  fortnight  afterwards  he  was  found  again  in  Paris  playing  his 
old  tricks  on  the  bridge  as  before.

57.  More  Faitliful  than  Favoured. 

Sir  Harry  Lee  of  Ditchley,  in  Oxfordshire,  ancestor  of  the  Earls  of 
Lichfield,  had  a  mastiff  which  guarded  the  house  and  yard,  but  had  never 
met  with  the  least  particular  attention  from'  his  master,  and  was  retained 
for  his  utility  alone,  and  not  from  any  particular  regard.  One  night  as  his 
master  was  retiring  to  4iis  chamber,  attended  by  his  valet,  an  Italian, 
the  mastiff  silently  followed  him  up  stairs,  which  he  had  never  been  known 
to  do  before,  and,  to  his  master's  astonishment,  presented  himself  in  his 
bedroom.  Being  deemed  an  intruder  he  was  instantly  ordered  to  be  turned 
out;  which  being  done,  the  poor  animal  began  scratching  at  the  door,  and 
howling  loudly  for  admission.  The  servant  was  sent  to  drive  him  away. 
Discouragement  could  not  check  his  intended  labour  of  love,  or  rather 
providential  impulse;  he  returned  again,  and  was  more  importunate  than 
before  to  be  let  in.  Sir  Harry  weary  of  opposition,  bade  the  servant  to 
open  the  door,  that  they  might  see  what  he  wanted  to  do.  'This  done  the 
mastiff  with  a  wag  of  his  tail,  and  a  look  of  affection  at  his  Lord,  deli- 
berately walked  up,  and  crawling  under  the  bed,  laid  himself  down,  as' 
if  desirous  to  take  up  his  night's  lodging  there.  To  save  farther  trouble, 
but  not  from  any  partiality  for  his  company,  the  indulgence  was  allowed- 
About  the  solemn  hour  of  midnight  the  chamber  door  was  opened,  and  a 
person  was  heard  stepping  across  the  room:  Sir  Harry  started  from  his 
sleep;  the  dog  sprung  from  his  covert,  and  seizing  the  unwelcome  dis- 
turber, fixed  him  to  the  spot!  All  was  dark;  and  Sir  Harry  rang  his  bell 
in  great  precipitation,  in  order  to  procure  a  light.  The  person  who  was 
pinned  to  the  floor  by  the  courageous  mastiff,  roared  for  assistance.  It 
was  found  to  be  the  valet,  who  little  expected  such  a  reception.  He  en- 
deavoured to  apologize  for  his  intrusion,  and  to  make  the  reasons,  which 
induced  him  to  take  this  step,  plausible;  but  the  importunity  of  the  dog, 
the  time,  the  place,  the  manner  of  the  valet,  all  raised  suspicion  in  Sir 
Harry's  mind;  and  he  determined  to  refer  the  investigation  of  the  business

of  punishment,  and  soothed  with  the  hopes  of  pardon ,  at  length  confessed,

which  design  was  only  frustrated  by  the  instinctive  attachment  of  the  dog 
to  his  master,  which  seemed  to  be  directed  on  this  occasion  by  the  in- 
terference of  Providence.  A  full  length  picture  of  the  dog  and  his  master, 
and  the  words  «More  faithful  than  favoured »  are  still  to  be  seen  at  the

58.   Bill,  the  Fire-escape  Dog. 

There  is  a  fine  band  of  men  in  London,  who  have  charge  of  the  fire- 
escapes:  which  are  immense  movable  ladder-machines,  by  which  people 
descend  of  themselves,  or  are  conveyed,  from  the  windows  of  a  house 
on  fire.  Samuel  Wood,  one  of  the  bravest  of  those  men,  has  saved  more 
than  one  hundred  men,  women,  and  children,  from  the  flames!  Bluch  of 
Wood's  success,  however,  is  justly  due  to  his  wonderful  little  dog  «Bill». 
Around  his  neck  the  parishioners  of  Wliitechapel  have  placed  a  silver 
collar,  in  token  of  his  valuable  services  during  the  nine  years  that  he 
has  filled  the  important  post  of  « Fire-escape  Dog». 

Bill,  like  his  master,  has  to  be  very  wakeful,  and  at  his  post  of 
duty  during  the  whole  of  the  night,  and  therefore  he  sleeps  during  the 
day  close  to  his  master's  bed.  He  never  attempts  to  run  out  of  doors  un- 
til the  hour  approaches  at  which  they  must  go  to  the  «Station». 

Bill  does  not  allow  his  master  to  sleep  too  long.  He  is  sure  to  wake 
him,  if  he  is  likely  to  be  late!  How  the  dog  knows  the  time  is  a  puzzle, 
but  know  it  he  does!  When  the  fire  escape  is  wheeled  out  of  the  White- 
chapel  Churchyard,  at  nine  o'clock,  Bill  is  promptly  at  his  post.  When 
an  alarm  of  fire  is  heard,  Bill,  who  is  at  other  times  very  quiet,  now 
begins  to  bark  most  furiously.  Wood  has  no  occasion  to  spring  his  rattle; 
for  the  policemen  all  around  know  Bill's  bark  so  well  that  they  at  once 
come  up  to  render  help. 


—  si- 
ll the  alarm  of  fire  takes  place,  when  but  few  people  are  in  the 
streets,  Bill  runs  round  to  the  coffee-honses  near,  and  pushing  open  the 
doors,  gives  his  well-known  bark,  as  much  as  to  say:  «Come  and  help, 
men!  come  and  help!»  Bill  has  not  to  bark  in  vain.  His  call  is  cheer- 
fully obeyed. 

In  dark  nights  the  lantern  has  to  be  lit,  when  Bill  seizes  hold  of  it, 
and  like  a  herald,  runs  on  before  his  master.  When  the  ladder  is  erected, 
Bill  is  at  the  top  before  his  active  master  has  reached  half  w^y!  He 
jumps  into  the  rooms,  and  amid  thick  smoke  and  the  approaching  flames, 
runs  from  room  to  room,  helping  his  master  to  find  and  bring  out  the 
poor,  inmates. 

On  one  occasion,  the  fire  burned  rapidly,  and  the  smoke  in  the  room 
became  so  thick,  that  Wood  and  another  man  were  unable  to  find  their 
way  out.  They  feared  that  escape  was  now  hopeless.  Bill  seemed  at  once 
to  understand  the  danger,  in  which  his  kind  master  was  placed,  and  he 
began  to  bark.  Half  suffocated,  Wood  and  his  comrade  knowing  this  to 
be  the  signal  «Follow  me»,  at  once  crawled  after  Bill,  and  in  a  few  mi- 
nutes they  were  led  to  the  window,  and  thus  their  lives  were  saved. 

Richly  does  Bill  deserve  his  silver  collar.  It  bears  this  inscription : 

I  am  the  Fire  escape's  man  dog.    My  name  is  Bill. 
When  «Fire))  is  called,  I'm  never  still. 
1  bark  for  my  master}  all  danger  I  brave, 
To  bring  tlm  escape,  man's  life  for  to  save. 

Poor  Bill,  like  human  beings,  has  had  his  trials  and  sufferings,  as 
well  as  honours.  At  one  fire,  he  fell  through  a  hole  burnt  in  the  floor, 
into  a  tub  of  scalding  water,  from  which  he  suffered  dreadfully,  and 
narrowly  escaped  a  painful  death.  On  three  other  occasions  he  had  the 
misfortune  to  be  run  over;  but,  with  careful  doctoring,  he  was  soon  able 
to  return  to  his  duties  *),

59.  Tlie  Strictness  of  Discipliuc  Rewarded. 

The  Empress  Catherine  being  sick,  the  Czar  went  to  the  Fortress  to 
perform  his  devotions;  but  it  being  midnight  he  found  the  gate  shut.  The 
sentinel  cried  out:  «Who  goes  there?*  « The  Emperor !»  «That  is  impos- 
sible; no  one  can  know  him  at  present,  and  we  have  strict  orders  not  to 
allow  any  person  whomsoever  to  come  in».  Peter  at  first  did  not  recollect 
that  this  order  had  been  given;  he  was  not,  however ,  displeased  with 
the  refusal  of  this  brave  soldier,  and  secretly  congratulated  himself,  that 
discipline  was  so  well  attended  to.  «My  friend»,  said  he  to  the  sentinel, 
ft  it  is  true  that  the  prohibition  does  exist,  but  as  sovereign  I  can  revoke 
it».  «You  endeavour  in  vain  to  persuade  me:  you  shall  not  enter».  The 
monarch  was  delighted  with  this  perseverance,  and  asked:  «Who  gave 
you  this  order?»  «My  corporal".  «Call  hira».  He  came;  the  Prince,  with- 
out saying  who  he  was,  ordered  him  to  open  the  gate.  «That  is  impos- 
sible; no  one  can  enter,  not  even  the  emperor <>.  «Who  gave  that  order?*. 
«My  officer*.  «Let  him  be  fetched;  the  Emperor  wants  to  speak  to  him*. 
The  officer  of  the  guard  appeared  ,  and  Peter  desired  him  also  to  open 
the  gate.  He  ordered  the  sentinel  to  hold  a  lantern  to  the  face  of  the  un- 
known ,  and  being  convinced  of  the  presence  of  his  master ,  he  suffered 
him  to  pass.  The  Czar ,  without  speaking ,,  went  forward  ,  and  said  his 
prayers;  on  his  return  from  the  church  he  entered  the  guardhouse,  and 
announced  to  the  soldier,  the  corporal,  and  the  officer,  whose  denial  he 
had  received,  that  he  promoted  each  of  them  to  a  higher  rank.  tContinue, 
my  friends » ,  said  he  on  quitting  them,  uto  observe  the  same  strictness 
of  discipline,  and  be  assured  you  will  always  find  me  ready  to  recom- 
pense it».

60.   Thomson  and  Quin. 

Thomson  the  poet,  when  he  first  came  to  London,  was  in  very  nar- 
row circumstances,  and  was  very  often  at  a  loss,  where,  or  how  to  pro- 
cure himself  a  dinner.  Upon  the  publication  of  his  Seasons,  one  of  his 
creditors  had  him  arrested,  thinking  that  a  proper  opportunity  to  get 
his  money.  The  report  of  this  misfortune  reached  the  ears  of  Quin,  who 
had  read  the  Seasons,  but  never  s€en  their  author:  and  he  was  told  that 
Thomson  was  in  a  Spunging-house  in  Holborn.  Thither  Quin  went,  and 
being  admitted  into  his  chamber:  «Sir»,  said  he,  «you  do  not  know  me, 
but  my  name  is  Quin».  Thomson  said,  «that,  though  he  could  not  boast 
of  the  honour  of  a  personal  acquaintance,  he  was  no  stranger  either  to 
his  name  or  his  merit»;  and  invited  him  to  sit  down.  Quin  then  told  him 
he  was  come  to  sup  with  him,  and  that  he  had  already  ordered  the  cook 
to  provide  supper,  which  he  hoped  he  would  excuse.  When  supper  was 
over,  and  the  glass  had  gone  briskly  about,  Mr.  Quin  told  him  «it  was 
now  time  to  enter  upon  business ».  Thomson  declared  he  was  ready  to 
serve  him  as  far  as  his  capacity  would  reach,  in  anything  he  might  com- 
mand (thinking  he  was  come  about  some  affair  relating  to  the  drama). 
«Sir»,  says  Quin,  «you  mistake  me.  I  am  in  your  debt.  I  owe  you  a 
hundred  pounds,  and  I  am  come  to  pay  you».  Thomson,  with  a  discon- 
solate air,  replied,  that,  as  he  was  a  gentleman  whom  he  bad  never 
offended,  he  wondered  he  should  seek  an  opportunity  to  banter  with  his 
misfortune.  «No»,  said  Quin,  raising  his  voice:  «I  say  I  owe  you  a  hun- 
dred pounds,  and  there  it  is»  (laying  a  bank  note  of  that  amount  before 
him).  Thomson,  astonished,  begged  he  would  explain  himself.  «Why», 
says  Quin,  «I  will  tell  you.  Soon  after  I  had  read  your  Seasons,  I  took 
it  into  my  head,  that,  as  I  had  something  to  leave  behind  me  when 


—    54    — 

I  died,  I  wouM  make  my  Avill;  and  among  the  rest  of  my  legatees  T  set 

down  the  author  of  the  Seasons  far  a  hundred  pounds;  and  this  dayhear- 

ling  that  you  were  in  this  house,  I  thought  I  might  as  well  have  the 

pleasure  of  paying  the  money  myself,  as  order  my  executor  to  pay  it, 

when  perhaps  you  might  have  less  need  of  it;  and  this,  Mr.  Thomson, 

is  my  business*.  Of  course  Thomson  left  the  house  in  company  with  his 

benefactor.

61.  The  Whistle. 

A  true  story  —  Written  to  his  Nephew  by  Dr.  Franklin. 

When  I  was  a  child,  at  seven  years  old,  my  friends  on  a  holiday 
filled  my  pockets  Avith  coppers.  I  went  directly  to  a  shop  where  they  sold 
toys  for  children;  and,  being  charmed  with  the  sound  of  a  whistle,  that 
I  met  by  the  way  in  the  hands  of  another  boy,  I  voluntarily  offered  him 
all  my  money  for  one.  I  then  came  home,  and  went  whistling  all  over  the 
house,  much  pleased  with  my  whistle,  but  disturbing  the  whole  family. 
My  brothers,  and  sisters,  and  cousins  unterstanding  the  bargain  I  had 
made,  told  me  I  had  given  four  times  as  much  for  it  as  it  was  worth. 
This  put  me  in  mind  what  good  things  I  might  have  bought  with  the  rest 
of  the  money;  and  they  laughed  at  me  so  much  for  my  folly,  that  I  cried 
with  vexation,  and  the  reflection  gave  me  more  chagrin  than  the  whistle 
gave  me  pleasure. 

This,  however,  was  afterwards  of  use  to  me,  the  impression  conti- 
nuing on  my  mind;  so  that  often  Avhen  I  was  tempted  to  buy  some  un- 
necessary thing,  I  said  to  myself,  Don'/  give  too  much  for  the  whistle; 
and  so  I  saved  my  money. 

As  I  grew  up,  came  into  the  world,  and  observed  the  actions  of  men, 
I  thought  I  met  with  many,  very  many,  who  gave  too  much  for 
their  whistle. 


—   55   — 

When  I  saw  any  one  too  ambitious  of  court  favours,  sacrifiGing  his 
time  in  attendance  on  levees,  his  repose,  his  liberty,  his  virtue,  and  per- 
haps his  friends,  to  attain  it,  I  have  said  to  myself:  This  man  gives 
too  much  (or  his  whistle. 

When  I  saw  another  full  of  popularity,  constantly  employing  himself 
in  political  bustles,  neglecting  his  own  affairs,  and  ruining  them  by  that 
neglect:  He  pays  indeed^  say  I,  too  much  for  his  whistle. 

If  I  knew  a  miser  who  gave  up  every  kind  of  comfortable  living,  all 
the  pleasures  of  doing  good  to  others,  ail  the  esteem  of  his  fellow  citizens, 
and  the  joys  of  benevolent  friendship,  for  the  sake  of  accumulating  wealth: 
Poor  man,  say  1,  you  do  indeed  pay  too  much  for  your  whistle. 

Whe  1  meet  a  man  of  pleasure,  sacrificing  every  laudable  improve- 
ment of  the  mind,  or  of  his  fortune,  to  mere  corporeal  sensations:  Mis- 
taken man,  say  I,  you  are  providing  pain  for  yourself  instead  of 
pleasure  —  you  give  too  much  for  your  whistle. 

If  I  see  one  fond  of  fine  clothes,  fine  furniture,  fine  equipages,  all 
above  his  fortune,  for  which  he  contracts  debts,  and  ends  his  career  in 
prison:  Alas!  say  I,  he  has  paid  dear,  very  dear,  for  his  whistle. 

When  I  see  a  beautiful,  sweet-tempered  girl,  married  to  an  ill-na- 
tured brute  of  a  husband:  What  a  pity  it  is,  say  I,  that  she  has  paid 
so  muck  for  a  whistle. 

In  short,  I  conceived  that  great  part  of  the  miseries  of  mankind  were 
brought  upon  them  by  the  false  estimates  they  had  made  of  the' value  of 
things,  and  by  their  giving  too  much  for  their  whistles.

62.  A  Trait  of  Lord  Byron's  Generosity,  Humanity, 
and  Tender-heartedness. 

At  Ellora,  a  sea-port  very  little  known  to  Europeans,  situate  on  the 
coast  of  Barbary,  Lord  Byron  was  leaning  over  the  gangway  of  a  vessel, 
looking  at  the  sea  serpents  playing  along-side,  and  enjoying  the  evening 


-    56    — 

rays  of  the  sun:  these  animals  are,  to  all  appearance,  from  six  to  twelve 
feet  long,  and  proportionably  large  in  circumference.  While  in  this  situa- 
tion, his  Lordship's  gold  watch  fell  from  his  jacket-pocket  into  the  sea,, 
and  was  plainly  seen  at  the  bottom,  although  in  five  fathoms  of  water. 
His  Lordship  said,  *he  would  not  have  lost  it  for  ten  times  its  value*. 
A  sailor  immediately  undressed,  and,  diving  down,  succeeded  in  bringing 
up  the  watch,  though  sharks  were  very  numerous  round  the  vessel  at  the 
time,  and  so  very  ravenous,  that  several  of  them  were  caught  with  bait. 
Lord  Byron  was  not  aware  of  fhe  man's  intention,  or  he  never  would 
have  allowed  hirii  to  run  such  a  risk;  he  offered  the  man  thirty  dollars 
and  a  gallon  of  rum;  the  sailor  said,  «He  would  take  the  rum  to  drink 
his  Lordship's  health,  but  he  never  would  take  money  for  going  over- 
board in  a  calm,  for  the  watch  of  a  man  who  would  jump  overboard  in  a 
gale  of  wind,  to  save  a  poor  fellow's  life!»  The  honest  tar  recollected  the 
following  noble  trait  of  his  Lordship's  humanity:  The  ship  had  encountered 
a  severe  gale  of  wind  otf  Cape  Bon,  that  carried  away  her  maintopmast 
in  a  heavy,  deep,  high  rolling  sea.  A  man  stationed  at  the  masthead  fell 
with  the  mast,  and,  holding  by  one  of  the  ropes  floated  about  20  fathoms 
from  the  ship's  stern.  He  was  hailed  to  hold  fast,  and  the  boat  would  be 
sent  for  him;  the  vessel,  however,  was  nearly  unmanageable,  and  the 
boat  difficult  to  hoist  out,  being  covered  with  part  of  the  topmast.  The 
man  got  weak,  and  at  last  called  out  that  he  could  hold  no  longer,  but 
must  let  go  and  submit.  Every  exertion  to  get  out  the  boat  seemed  fruit- 
less, when  Lord  Byron  stripped,  and,  taking  a  small  rope  in  his  hand, 
dashed  into  the  waves,  then  running  very  high.  Just  as  the  poor  fellow 
was  sinking,  he  caught  him  by  the  hair  of  the  head,  and  fastened  the 
small  rope  round  his  arms;  he  was  then  hauled  on  board,  and  his  life 
was  saved.  His  Lordship,  being  an  excellent  swimmer,  by  help  of  the  rope 
which  the  rescued  man  had  hold  of,  made  shift  to  get  along  side,  and 
was  taken  on  board  quite  exhausted.  The  exertion  threw  him  into  a  high 
fever,  and  he  was  confined  to  his  bed  for  a  week  in  a  doubtful  state.  The 
poor  fellow,  whose  life  he  had  saved,  stood  sentinel  at  his  cabin  door, 
wishing  he  had  been  drowned  rather  than  anything  should  have  happened 
to  his  preserver;  and  the  vessel  exhibited  the  extraordinary  spectacle  of 
a  dejected  British  crew.  Not  a  word  was  to  be  he'ard  but  in  whispers; 
and  every  one  offered  up  prayers  for  Lord  Byron's  recovery.  When  he 
became  so  well  as  to  reappear  upon  deck,  they  bailed  it  as  a  day  of  ju- 


—    57    — 

bilee,  and  expressed  their  joy  by  tliree  hearty  cheers.  The  captain  ordered 
them  grog  to  drink  his  Lordship's  health,  and  never  did  the  cango  merrier 
round.  Every  heart  was  filled  with  joy;  and  at  the  evening's  dance,  the 
preserved  mariner  presided,  as  master  of  the  ceremonies,  with  grateful 
delight  sparkling  in  his  eyes. 

The  heart  of  Lord  Byron  was  peculiarly  tender.  When  at  Genoa,  he 
was  in  the  practice  of  going  on  board  the  Blossom,  sloop  of  war,  without 
ceremony,  at  all  hours.  One  day  he  climbed  up  the  side,  the  crew  were 
all  arranged,  and  Captaiq  Stewart  was  directing  the  punishment  of  an  of- 
fender against  discipline.  No  sooner  did  the  poor  fellow's  cries,  and  the 
sound  of  the  lash,  reach  his  Lordship's  ears,  than  he  tottered  to  a  gun 
for  support,  and  was  seized  with  a  violent  sickness.  The  lash  was  sus- 
pended, and  the  officers  crowded  round,  anxious  to  know  the  cause. 
When  a  little  recovered,  he  inquired  if  the  man's  crime  was  theft,  mutiny 
or  lying.  «Drunkenness!»  was  the  reply.  «Then  let  me  beg  of  you  to 
pardon  him  this  time».  Captain  Stewart  read  the  man  a  lecture,  and 
complied  with  his  Lordship's  request,  who  privately  sent  him  some  mon- 
ey, and  a  message  enjoining  him  sobriety  in  future.  He  was  several 
days  affected  with  this  painful  circumstance,  and  said  «he  would  not

63.  The  Chimney-sweepers'  Feast,   or  the  Lost  Child  Foand, 

There  was  formerly  at  London,  on  the  first  of  May  of  every  year,  a 
superb  feast  given  to  the  chimney-sweepers  of  the  metropolis,  at  Mon- 
tagu-House, Cavendish-Square,  the  town  residence  of  the  Montagu  family. 
The  custom  is  said  to  have  taken  its  origin  from  the  following  circum- 
stance : 

Lady  Montagu,  being  at  her  country-seat  as  usual  in  the  summer, 
used  to  send  her  little  boy  Edward  to  walk  every  day  with  the  foot- 
man, who  had  strict  orders  never  to  lose  sight  of  him.  One  day,  however, 
the  servant,  meeting  an  old  acquaintance,  went  into  an  alehouse  to  drink, 
and  left  the  little  boy  running  about  by  himself.  After  staying  some  time 
drinking,  the  footman  came  out  to  look  for  the  child  to  take  him  home 
to  dinner,  but  he  could  not  find  him.  He  wandered  about  till  night,  en- 
quiring at  every  house,  but  in  vain,  no  Edward  could  be  found.  The 
poor  mother,  as  may  well  be  imagined,  was  in  the  greatest  anxiety 
about  the  absence  of  her  dear  boy;  but  it  Avould  be  impossible  to  describe 
her  grief  and  despair,  when  the  footman  returned,  and  told  her  he 
did  not  know  what  had  become  of  him.  People  were  sent  to  seek  him 
in  all  directions;  advertisements  were  put  in  all  the  newspapers;  bills 
were  stuck  up  in  London,  and  in  most  of  the  great  towns  of  England, 
offering  a  considerable  reward  to  any  person  who  would  bring  him,  or 
give  any  news  of  him.  All  endeavours  were,  however,  unsuccessful,  and 
it  was  concluded  that  the  poor  child  had  fallen  into  some  pond,  or  that 
he  had  been  stolen  by  gipsies,  who  would  not  bring  him  back  for  fear 
of  being  punished. 

Lady  Montagu  passed  two  long  years  in  this  miserable  uncertainty: 
she  did  not  return  to  London  as  usual  in  the  winter,  but  passed  her  time 
in  grief  and  solitude  in  the  country.  At  length  one  of  her  sisters  married, 
and,  after  many  refusals.  Lady  Montagu  consented  to  give  a  ball  and  sup- 
per on  the  occasion  at  her  town-house.  She  arrived  in  London  to  super- 
intend the  preparations,  and  while  the  supper  was  cooking,  the  whole 
house  was  alarmed  by  a  cry  of,  fire! 

It  appears  that  one  of  the  cooks  had  overturned  a  saucepan,  and  set 
fire  to  the  chimney.  The  chimney-sweepers  were  sent  fur,  and  a  little 
boy  was  sent  up;  but  the  smoke  nearly  suffocated  him,  and  he  fell  into 
the  fire-place.  Lady  Montagu  came  herself  with  some  vinegar  and  a  smell- 


—    59    - 

ing-bottle;  she  began  to  balhe  his  temples  and  his  neck,  when  suddenly 
she  screamed  ont,  Oh!  Edward!  —  and  fell  senseless  on  the  floor.  She 
soon  recovered,  and  taking  the  little  sweep  in  her  arms,  pressed  him  to 
her  bosom,  crying:  «It  is  my  dear  Edward!  It  is  my  lost  boy»! 

It  appears  she  had  recognised  him  by  a  mark  on  his  neck.  The 
master-chimney-sweeper,  on  being  asked  where  he  had  obtained  the 
child,  said  he  had  bought  him  about  a  year  before  of  a  gipsy  woman, 
who  said  he  was  her  son.  All  that  the  boy  could  remember  was,  that 
some  people  had  given  him  fruit,  and  told  him  they  would  take  him  home 
to  his  mamma;  but  that  they  took  him  a  long  way  upon  a  donkey, 
and  after  keeping  him  a  long  while,  they  told  him  he  must  go  and  live 
with  the  chimney-sweep  who  was  his  father:  that  they  had  beaten  him 
so  much  whenever  he  spoke  of  his  mamma  and  of  his  fine  house,  that 
he  was  almost  afraid  to  think  of  it.  But  he  said  his  master,  the  chimney- 
sweeper, had  treated  him  very  well. 

Lady  Montagu  rewarded  the  man  handsomely,  and  from  that  time 
she  gave  a  feast  to  all  the  chimney-sweepers  of  the  Metropolis  on  the 
first  of  May.  the  birth-day  of  little  Edward,  who  always  presided  at  the 
table,  which  was  covered  with  the  good  old  English  fare,  roast  beef, 
plum  pudding,  and  strong  beer.  This  circumstance  happened  many,  many 
years  ago,  and  Lady  Montagu  and  Edward  are  both  dead;  but  the  first 
of  May  is  still  celebrated  as  the  chimney-sweepers'  holiday,  and  you  may 
see  them  on  that  day  in  all  parts  of  London,  dressed  in  ribbons  and  all 
sorts  of  finery,  dancing  to  music  at  almost  every  door,  and  beating  time 
with  the  implements  of  their  trade.

64.  A  Nobleman  and  his  Noble  Servant. 

A  Russian  nobleman  was  travelling  in  the  early  part  of  the  winter 
over  a  bleak  plain.  His  carriage  rolled  up  to  an  inn,  and  he  demanded  a 
relay  of  horses  to  go  on.  The  innkeeper  entreated  him  not  to  proceed,  for 
there  was  danger  abroad;  the  wolves  were  out.  He  thought  the  object  of 
the  man  was  to  keep  him  as  a  guest  for  the  night;  and  saying  it  was  too 
early  in  the  season  for  wolves,  ordered  the  horses  to  be  put  to.  In  spite 
of  the  continued  warnings  of  the  landlord,  the  carriage  drove  away,  with 
the  nobleman,  his  wife,  and  their  only  daughter. 

On  the  box  of  the  carriage  was  a  serf ,  who  had  been  born  on  the 
nobleraan's  estate,  and  who  loved  his  master  as  he  loved  his  life.  They 
rolled  on  over  the  hardened  sno^,  and  there  seemed  no  signs  of  danger. 
The  moon  began  to  shed  her  light,  so  that  the  road  appeared  like  polished 
silver.  At  length  the  little  girl  said  to  her  father:  «What  is  that  strange 
dull  sound  that  I  just  heard* ?  Her  father  replied:  «Nothing  but  the  wind 
sighing  through  the  trees  of  the  forest  we  have  just  passed».  The  child 
shut  her  eyes,  and  was  quieted  for  the  time;  but  in  a  few  minutes,  with 
a  face  pale  with  affright ,  she  turned  to  her  father ,  and  said:  « Surely, 
that  was  not  the  wind;  I  heard  it  again,  did  you  not  hear  it  too?  Listen! » 
The  nobleman  listened ,  and  far ,  far  away  in  the  distance  behind  him, 
but  distinct  enough  in  the  clear,  frosty  air,  he  heard  a  sound,  which  he 
knew  the  meaning  of,  though  they  did  not. 

He  put  down  the  glass,  and  speaking  to  the  serf,  said:  «I  think  they 
are  after  us;  we  must  make  haste;  tell  the  post-boy  to  drive  faster,  and 
get  your  musket  and  pistols  ready;  I  will  do  the  same;  we  may  yet  escape »• 

The  man  drove  faster;  but  the  mournful  howling,  which  the  child  had 
first  heard,  began  to  come  nearer  and  nearer,  and  it  was  perfectly  clear 
to  the  nobleman  that  a  pack  of  wolves  had  got  scent,  and  were  in  pursuit 
of  them.  Meanwhile  he  tried  to  calm  the  anxious  fears  of  his  wife  and 
child.  At  last  the  baying  of  the  pack  was  distinctly  heard,  and  he  said 
to  his  servant:  «When  they  come  up  with  us,  single  you  out  the  leader, 
and  fire;  I  will  single  out  the  next,  and,  as  soon  as  one  falls,  the  rest  will 
stop  to  devour  him:  that  will  be  some  delay  at  least. 

By  this  time  they  could  see  the  pack  fast  approaching  with  their  long 
measured  tread,  a  large  dog-wolf  leading.  They  singled  out  two,  and  they 
fell;  the  pack  immediately  turned  on  their  fallen  comrades,  and  soon  tore 


—    61    — 

them  to  pieces.  The  taste  of  blood  made  the  others  advance  with  more 
fury,  and  they  were  again  soon  baying  at  the  carriage.  Again  the  noble- 
man and  his  servant  tired,  and  two  more  fell,  which  were  instantly  de- 
voured as  before;  but  the  next  post-house  was  still  far  distant. 

The  nobleman  then  cried  to  the  post-boy:  «You  must  let  one  of  the 
horses  loose  from  the  carriage,  iu  order  that,  when  the  wolves  come  up 
to  him,  their  destruction  of  the  horse  may  gain  us  a  little  time».  This 
was  done,  and  the  horse  was  left  on  the  road:  «in  a  few  minutes  they 
heard  the  loud  agonizing  shriek  of  the  poor  animal  as  the  wolves  tore  him 
down.  Again  they  urged  on  the  carriage,  but  again  their  enemies  were 
in  full  pursuit.  A  second  horse  was  sent  adrift,  and  shared  the  same  fate 
as  his  fellow. 

At  length  the  servant  said  to  his  master:  «I  have  served  you  since  I 
was  a  child,  and  I  love  you  as  I  love  my  own  life;  it  is  perfectly  clear 
to  me  that  we  cannot  all  reach  the  post-house  alive;  I  am  quite  prepared, 
and  I  ask  you  to  let  me  die  for  you».  «No)),  said  the  master,  «we  will 
live  together,  or  die  together;  it  must  not  be  son.  But  the  entreaties  of 
the  man  at  length  prevailed.  «I  shall  leave  my  wife  and  children  to  you; 
you  will  be  a  father  to  them;  you  have  been  a  father  to  me;  when  the 
wolves  next  reach  us ,  I  will  jnmp  down  and  do  my  best  I  can  to  arrest 
their  progress ». 

The  carriage  rolls  on  as  fast  as  the  two  remaining  horses  can  drag 
it!  the  wolves  are  close  on  their  track, and  almost  dash  against  the  doors 
of  the  carriage.  Presently  is  heard  the  discharge  of  the  servant's  pistols 
as  he  leaps  from  -his  seat.  Soon  the  door  of  the  post-house  is  reached, 
and  the  family  is  safe. 

They  went  to  the  spot  the  following  morning,  where  the  wolves  had 
pulled  the  devoted  servant  to  pieces.  There  now  stands  a  large  wooden 
cross,  erected  by  the  nobleman,  with  this  text  upon  it:  « Greater  love  has 
no  man  than  this,  that  one  lay  down  his  life  for  his  friend ».

65.  Miss  Burney. 

Miss  Barney,  afterwards  Madame  D'Arblay,  wrote  her  celebrated  novel 
oi  Evelina  when  only  seventeen  years  of  age,  and  published  it  without 
the  knowledge  of  her  father  who,  having  occasion  to  visit  the  metropolis, 
soon  after  it  had  issued  from  the  press,  purchased  it  as  the  work  then 
most  popular,  and  most  likely  to  prove  an  acceptable  treat  to  his  family. 

When  Dr.  Burney  had  concluded  his  business  in  town,  he  went  to 
Chessington,  the  seat  of  Mr.  Crisp,  where  his  family  were  on  a  visit.  He 
had  scarcely  dismounted  and  entered  the  parlour,  when  the  customary 
question  of  «What  news»?  was  rapidly  addressed  to  him  by  the  several 
personages  of  the  little  party.  «Nothing»,  said  the  worthy  doctor,  «but 
a  great  deal  of  noise  about  a  novel  which  I  have  brought  you». 

When  the  book  was  produced,  and  the  title  read,  the  surprised  and 
conscious  Miss  Burney  turned  away  her  face  to  conceal  the  blushes  and 
delighted  confusion  which  otherwise  would  have  betrayed  her  secret; 
but  the  bustle  which  usually  attends  the  arrival  of  a  friend  in  the  coun- 
try, where  the  monotonous  but  peaceful  tenor  of  life  is  agreeably  disturb- 
ed by  such  a  change,  prevented  the  curious  and  happy  group  from  ob- 
serving the  agitation  of  their  sister. 

After  dinner,  Mr.  Crisp  proposed  that  the  book  should  be  read.  This 
was  done  with  all  due  rapidity;  when  the  gratifying  comments  made 
during  its  progress,  and  the  acclamations  which  attended  its  conclusion, 
ratified  the  approbation  of  the  public.  The  amiable  author,  whose  anxiety 
and  pleasure  could  with  difficulty  be  concealed,  was  at  length  overcome 
by  the  delicious  feeling  of  her  heart;  she  burst  into  tears,  and  throwing 
herself  on  her  father's  neck,  avowed  herself  the  author  of  Evelina. 

The  joy  and  surprise  of  her  sisters,  and  still  more  of  her  father, 
cannot  easily  be  expressed.  Dr.  Burney,  conscious  as  he  was  of  the  ta- 


-  63  - 

lents  of  his  daughter,  never  thought  that  such  maturity  of  observation 
and  judgment,  such  fertility  of  imagination  and  chasteness  of  style,  could 
have  been  displayed  by  a  girl  of  seventeen  —  by  one  who  appeared  a 
mere  infant  in  artlessness  and  inexperience,  and  whose  deep  seclusion 
from  Ihe  world  had  excluded  her  from  all  visual  knowledge  of  its  ways. 

Soon  after  m^,  she  settled  at  Rome,  and  was  admitted  a  member 
of  the  Academy  of  the  Arcadi,  under  the  name  of  Gorilla  Olympica,  and 
for  some  time  continued  to  charm  the  inhabitants  of  Rome  by  her  talents 
in  improvisation.  At  length,  when  Pius  YI  became  Pope,  he  determined 
that  she  should  be  solemnly  crowned— an  honour  which  had  been  grant- 
ed to  Petrarch  only. 

Twelve  members  of  the  Arcadian  Academy  were  selected  out  of 
thirty,  publicly  to  examine  the  new  edition  of  the  «Tenth  Muse»,  which 
has  so  often  been  dedicated  to  ladies  of  poetical  and  literary  talents. 
Three  several  days  were  allotted  for  this  public  exhibition  of  poetical 
powers,  on  the  following  subjects:  —  sacred  history,  revealed  religion, 
moral  philosophy,  natural  history,  metaphysics,  epic  poetry,  legislation, 
eloquence,  mvthology,  fine  arts,  and  pastoral  poetry. 

In  the  list  of  examiners  appeared  a  prince,  an  archbishop,  three 
monseigneurs,  the  Pope's  physician,  abati,  avocati,  all  of  high  rank  in 
literature  and  criticism.' These  severally  gave  her  subjects  which,  be- 
sides a  readiness  Si  versification  in  all  the  measures  of  Italian  poetry, 
required  science,  reading,  and  knowledge  of  every  kind. 

In  these  severe  trials  she  acquitted  herself  to  the  satisfaction  and 
astonishment  of  all  the  personages,  clergy,  literati,  and  foreigners  then 
resident  at  Rome.  Among  the  latter  was  the  brother  of  George  III,  the 
Duke  of  Gloucester.  Nearly  fifty  sonnets,  by  different  poets,  with  odes, 
canzoni,  terze  rime,  attave,  canzonetti,  etc.,  produced  on  the  subject  of 
the  event,  are  inserted  at  the  end  of  a  beautiful  volume  containing  the 
description  of  the  order  and  ceremonials  of  this  splendid,  honourable, 
and  enthusiastic  homage  paid  to  poetry,  classical  taste,  talents,  litera- 
ture, and  the  fine  arts.

66.  The  Generous  Cateran. 

Early  in  the  la::;t  century,  John  Gunn,  a  noted.  Caterau,  or  Highland 
robber,  infested  Inverness-shire, up  to  the  walls  of  the  provincial  capital. 
A  garrison  was  then  maintained  in  the  castle  of  that  town;  and  their  pay 
was  usually  transmitted  in  specie ,  under  the  guard  of  a  small  escort.  It 
chanced  that  the  officer  who  commanded  this  little  party  was  unexpectedly 
oWiged  to  halt,  about  thirty  miles  from  Inverness,"  at  a  miserable  inn. 
About  night-faU,  a  stranger,  in  the  Highland  dress,  and  of  a  very  prepos- 
sessing appearance ,  entered  the  same  house.  Separate  accommodation 
being  impossible,  the  Englishman  offered  the  newly-arrived  guest  a  part 
of  his  supper,  which  was  accepted  with  reluctance.  By  the  conversation 
he  found  his  new  acquaintance  kneAV  weH  all  the  passes  of  the  country, 
which  induced  him  eagerly  to  request  his  company  on  the  ensuing  morn- 
ing. He  neither  disguised  his  business  and  charge,  nor  his  apprehensions 
of  that  celebrated  freebooter ,  John  Gunn.  The  Highlander  hesitated  a 
moment ,  and  then  frankly  consented  to  be  his  guide.  Forth  they  set  in 
the  morning;  and  in  travelling  through  a  solitary  and  dreary  glen,  the 
discourse  again  turned  on  John  Gunn.  «Wouldyouliketo  see  him?»  said 
his  guide;  and,  without  waiting  for  an  answer  to  this  alarming  question, 
he  whistled,  and  the  English  officer,  with  his  small  party,  were  surround- 
ed by  a  body  of  well  armed  Highlanders   whose  numbers  put  resistance 


—  65    - 

out  of  question.  « Stranger » ,  resumed  the  guide  ,  «I  am  that  very  John 
Gunn  by  whom  you  feared  to  be  intercepted,  and  not  without  cause;  for

ney, and  disappeared  with  his  party,  as  suddenly  as  they  had  presented 
themselves.  (Walter  Scott).

67.  Siugular  Iiislance  of  Gcuerosity. 

About  thirty  years  ago,  Mr.  B.  having  at  that  time  newly  commen- 
ced business  in  Edinburgh,  was  returning  on  horseback  from  the  city  to 
a  cottage  he  had  near  Cramond.  It  was  a  wild  night  in  November,  and 
though  he  usuaUy  took  the  shortest  way  home,  he  resolved,  this  even- 
ing, on  account  of  the  increasing  darkness,  to  keep  on  the  high  road. 
When  he  had  proceeded  about  three  miles  from  the  town,  and  had  come 
to  the  loneliest  part  of  the  way,  he  was  suddenly  arrested  by  a  man  who 
sprang  out  of  a  small  copse  at  the  road  side,  and  seized  the  bridle  of  his 
horse.  Mr.  B.  was  a  man  of  great  calmness  and  resolution,  and  asked 
the  man  the  reason  of  his  behaviour,  without  betraying  the  smallest 
symptoms  of  agitation.  Not  so  that  assailant.  He  held  the  bridle  in  his 
hand,  but  Mr.  B.  remarked  that  it  trembled  excessively.  After  remaining 
some  time,  as  if  irresolute  what  to  do,  and  without  uttering  a  word,  he 
let  go  his  hold  of  the  bridle,  and  said  in  a  trembling  voice:  «Pass  on, 
Sir,  pass  on!»  —  and  then  he  added:  RThank  God,  I  am  yet  free  from 
crime*.  Mr.  B.  was  struck  with  the  manner  and  appearance  of  the  man,

and  said:  «I  fear  you  are  in  distress,  is  there  any  thing  in  which  a  stran- 
ger can  assist  you?»  «Strangers  may,  perhaps»,  replied  the  man  in  a 
bitter  tone:  for  nothing  is  to  be  hoped  from  friends ».  «  You  speak,  I  hope, 
under  some  momentary  feeling  of  disappointment ».  «Pass  on,  pass  on!» 
he  said  impatiently:  «1  have  no  right  to  utter  any  complaints  to  you. 
Go  home  and  thank  God,  that  a  better  spirit  withheld  me  from  my  first 
intention,  when  I  heard  you  approach  —  or  this  might  have  been»  — 
he  suddenly  paused.  «Stranger»,  said  Mr.  B.  in  a  tone  of  real  kindness: 
«you  say,  you  have  no  right  to  utter  your  complaints  to  me;  I  have  cer- 
tainly no  right  to  pry  into  your  concerns,  but  I  am  interested,  I  confess, 
by  your  manner  and  appearance,  and  I  frankly  make  you  an  offer  of  any 
assistance  1  can  bestow*.  «You  know  not»,  replied  the  stranger,  «the 
person  to  whom  you  make  this  generous  proposal  —  a  wretch  stained 
with  vices  —  degraded  from  the  station  he  once  held,  and  on  the  eve 
of  becoming  a  robber  —  aye»,  he  added  with  a  shudder,  «perhaps  a 
murderer*.  I  care  not,  I  care  not,  for  your  former  crimes,  —  sufficient 
for  m'e  that  you  repent  them  —  tell  me  wherein  I  can  stand  your  friend*. 
«For  myself  I  am  careless»,  replied  the  man;  «but  there  is  one  who 
looks  to  me  with  eyes  of  quiet  and  still  unchanged  aifection,  though  she 
knows  that  I  have  brought  her  from  a  house  of  comfort  to  share  the  fate 
of  an  outcast  and  a  beggar.  I  wished  for  her  sake  once  more  to  become 
respectable,  to  leave  a  country  where  I  am  known,  and  to  gain  charac- 
ter, station,  wealth  ~  to  all  which  she  is  so  justly  entitled  —  in  a 
foreign  land;  but  I  have  not  a  shilling  in  the  world ».  He  here  paused, 
and  Mr.  B.  thought,  he  saw  him  weep.  He  drew  out  his  pocket  book, 
and  unfolding  a  bank  bill,  he  put  it  into  the  man's  hand,  and  said: 
«Here  is  what  1  hope  will  ease  you  from  present  difficulties,  it  is  a  note 
for  a  hundred  pounds ».  The  man  started  as  he  received  the  paper,  and 
said  in  a  low  subdued  tone:  «I  will  not  attempt  to  thank  you,  Sir  — 
may  I  ask  your  name  and  address? »  Mr.  B,  gave  him  what  he  required. 
«Fare  well,  SiD),  said  the  stranger,  «when  I  have  expiated  my  fault, 
by  a  life  of  honesty  and  virtue,  I  will  pray  for  you:  till  then,  I  darenot*. 
Saying  these  words,  he  bounded  over  the  hedge  and  disappeared.  Mr. 
B.  rode  home  wondering  at  the  occurrence;  and  he  has  often  said  since, 
that  he  never  derived  so  much  pleasure  from  a  hundred  pounds  in  his 
life.  He  related  the  adventure  to  several  of  his  friends,  but  as  they  were 
not  all  endowed  with  the  same  liberality  of  spirit  as  himself,  he  was 


—    67    — 

rather  laughed  at  for  his  simplicity;  and  in  the  course  of  a  few  years, 
an  increasing  and  very  prosperous  business  drove  the  transaction  almost 
entirely  from  his  mind.  One  day,  however,  about  twelve  years  after  the 
adventure,  he  was  sitting  with  a  few  friends  after  dinner,  when  a  note 
was  put  into  his  hand,  and  the  servant  told  him,  that  the  Leith  carrier 
had  brought  a  hogshead  of  claret  into  the  hall.  He  opened  the  note,  and 
found  it  to. contain  an  order  for  a  hundred  pounds,  with  interest  up  to 
that  time,  accompanied  with  the  strongest  expression  of- gratitude  for  the 
service  done  to  the  writer  long  ago.  It  had  no  date,  but  informed  him 
that  he  was  happy,  that  he  was  respected,  and  that  he  was  admitted 
partner  in  one  of  the  first  mercantile  houses  in  the  city  where  he  lived. 
Every  year  the  same  present  was  continued,  always  accompanied  by  a 
letter.  Mr.  B.,  strange  to  say,  made  no  great  effort  to  discover  his  cor- 
respondent. At  last  he  died,  and  the  secret  of,  who  the  mysterious  cor- 
respondent might  be,  seemed  in  a  fair  way  of  dying  along  with  him.  But 
the  story  is  not  yet  done.  When  the  funeral  of  Mr.  B.  had  reached  the 
Grey-friars  church  yard,  the  procession  was  joined  by  a  gentleman,  who 
got  out  of  a  very  elegant  carriage  at  the^door  of  the  church.  He  was  a 
tall,  handsome  man  about  five  and  forty  years  of  age,  dressed  In  the 
deepest  mourning.  There  were  no  armoreal  bearings  on  the  panels  of  his 
carriage,  he  was  totally  unknown  to  all  the  family,  and  after  the  cere- 
mony, during  which  he  appeared  to  be  deeply  affected,  he  went  up  to 
the  chief  mourner,  and  said:  «I  hope.  Sir,  you- will  excuse  the  intrusion 
of  a  stranger;  but  I  could  not  refrain  from  paying  the  last  tribute  of  re- 
spect to  an  excellent  gentleman  who  was,  at  one  time,  more  my  bene- 
factor than  any  person  living ».  Saying  this  he  bowed,  stepped  quickly 
into  his  carriage,  and  disappeared.  There  can  be  no  doubt,  that  this  was 
the  individual,  who  had  been  rescued,  by  the  prompt  benevolence  of 
Mr.  B.  —  from  sin  and  misery.

68.  Bradford  the  Innkeeper. 

Jonathan  Bradford  kept  an  inn  in  Oxfordshire ,  on  the  London  road 
to  Oxford.  He  bore  a  respectable  character.  Mr.  Hayes,  a  gentleman  of 
fortune ,  being  on  his  way  to  Oxford  on  a  visit  to  a  relation,  put  up  at 
Bradford's.  He  there  joined  company  with  two  gentlemen,  with  whom  he 
supped,  and  in  conversation  unguardedly  mentioned  that  he  had  then  about 
him  a  considerable  sum  of  money.  In  due  time  they  retired  to  their  re- 
spective chambers;  the  gentlemen  to  a  two-bedded  room  ,  leaving,  as  is 
customary  with  many,  a  candle  burning  in  the  chimney  corner.  Some 
hours  after  they  were  in  bed,  one  of  the  gentlemen  being  awake,  thought 
he  heard  a  deep  groan  in  an  adjoining  chamber;  and  this  being  repeated, 
he  softly  awoke  his  friend.  They  listened  together,  and  the  groans  increas- 
ing, as  of  one  dying  and  in  pain,  they  both  instantly  arose,  and  pro- 
ceeded silently  to  the  door  of  the  next  chamber ,  from  which  the  groans 
had  seemed  to  come.  The  door  being  ajar,  they  saw  a  light  in  the  room. 
They  entered,  but  it  is  impossible  to  paint  their  consternation  on  perceiv- 
ing a  person  weltering  in- his  blood  in  the  bed,  and  a  man  standing  over 
him  with  a  dark  lantern  in  one  hand,  and  a  knife  in  the  other!  The  man 
seemed  as  much  petrified  as  themselves ,  but  his  terror  carried  with  it 
all  the  appearance  of  guilt.  The  gentlemen  soon  discovered  that  the  mur- 
dered person  was  the  stranger ,  with  whom  they  had  that  night  supped, 
and  that  the  man,  who  was  standing  over  him,  was  their  host.  They  seiz- 
ed Bradford  directly,  disarmed  him  of  his  knife,  and  charged  him  with 
being  the  murderer.  He  assumed  by  this  time  the  air  of  innocence,  posi- 
tively denied  the  crime ,  and  asserted  that  he  came  there  with  the  same 
humane  intentions  as  themselves;  for  that ,  hearing  a  noise  ,  which  was 
succeeded  by  a  groaning,  he  got  out  of  bed,  struck  a  light,  armed  him- 
self with  a  knife  for  his  defence ,  and  had  but  (hat  minute  entered  the 
room  before  them.  These  assertions  were  of  little  avail:  he  was  kept  in 
close  custody  till  the  morning ,  and  then  taken  before  a  neighbouring 
justice  of  the  peace.  Bradford  still  denied  the  murder ,  but  with  such 


—    69   — 

apparent  indications  of  guilt ,  that  the  justice  hesitated  not  to  make  use 
of  this  extraordinary  expression,  on  writing  his  mittimus,  «Mr.  Bradford, 
either  you  or  myself  committed  this  murder ». 

This  remarkable  affair  became  a  topic  of  conversation  to  the  whole 
country.  Bradford  was  condemned  by  the  general  voice  of  every  company. 
Ill  the  midst  of  all  this  predetermination,  came  on  the  assizes  at  Oxford. 
Bradford  was  brought  to  trial;  he  pleaded  not  guilty.  Nothing  could  be 
stronger  than  the  evidence  of  the  two  gentlemen.  They  testified  to  the 
finding  Mr.  Hayes  murdered  in  his  bed,  Bradford  at  the  side  of  the  body 
with  a  light  and  a  knife  ,  and  that  knife  ,  and  the  hand  whicli  held  it , 
bloody.  They  stated  that,  on  their  entering  the  room,  he  betrayed  all  the 
signs  of  a  guilty  man;  and  that,  but  a  few  minutes  preceding,  they  had 
heard  the  groans  of  the  deceased. 

Bradford's  defence  on  his  trial  was  the  same  as  before:  he  had  heard 
a  noise;  he  suspected  that  some  villainy  was  transacting;  he  struck  a  light, 
snatched  up  the  knife,  the  only  weapon  at  hand,  to  defend  himself,  and 
entered  the  room  of  the  deceased.  He  averred  that  the  terrors  he  betrayed 
were  merely  the  feelings  natural  to  innocence  ,  as  well  as  guilt ,  on  be- 
holding so  horrid  a  scene.  The  defence,  however,  could  not  but  be  con- 
sidered as  weak,  contrasted  with  the  several  powerful  circumstances 
against  him.  Never  was  circumstancial  evidence  so  strong,  so  far  as  it 
went.  There  was  little  need  for  comment  from  the  judge  in  summing  up 
the  evidence,  no  room  appeared  for  extenuation;  and  the  prisoner  was 
declared  guilty  by  the  jury,  without  their  even  leaving  the  box. 

Bradford  was  executed  shortly  after,  still  declaring  that  he  was  not 
the  murderer,  nor  privy  to  the  murder,  of  Mr.  Hayes;  but  he  died,  dis- 
believed by  all. 

Yet  were  these  assertions  not  untrue!  The  murder  was  actually  com- 
mitted by  the  footman  of  Mr.  Hayes ;  and  the  assassin  ,  immediately  on 
stabbing  his  master,  rifled  his  pockets  of  his  money  ,  gold  watch  ,  and 
snuff-box ,  and  then  escaped  back  to  his  own  room.  This  could  scarcely 
have  been  effected,  as  after-circumstances  showed,  more  than  two  seconds 
before  Bradford's  entering  the  unfortunate  gentleman's  chamber.  The  world 
owed  this  information  to  remorse  of  conscience  on  the  part  of  the  footman 
(eighteen  monhts  after  the  execution  of  Bradford) ,  when  laid  on  a  bed 
of  sickness.  It  was  a  death  bed  repentance  ,  and  by  that  death  the  law 
lost  its  victim. 


_    70    — 

It  were  to  be  wished  that  this  account  could  close  here,  but  there  is 
more  to  be  told.  Bradford,  though  innocent  of  the  murder,  and  not  even 
privy  to  it ,  was  nevertheless  a  murderer  in  design.  He  had  heard  ,  as 
well  as  the  footman  ,  what  Mr.  Hayes  had  declared  at  supper ,  having  a 
sum  of  money  about  him  ;  and  he  went  to  the  chamber  of  the  deceased 
with  the  same  intentions  as  the  servant.  He  was  struck  with  amazement 
on  beholding  himself  anticipated  in  the  crime.  He  could  not  believe  his 
senses;  and  in  turning  back  the  bed  clothes  to  assure  himself  of  the  fact, 
he  in  his  agitation  dropped  his  knife  on  the  bleeding  body ,  by  which 
means  both  his  hands  and  the  weapon  became  bloody.  These  circumstan- 
ces Bradford  acknowledged  to  the  clergyman  who  attended  him  after  sen- 
tence, but  who,  it  is  extremely  probable,  would  not  believe  them  at  the 
time. 

Besides  the  graver  lesson  to  be  drawn  from  this  extraordinary  case, 
in  which  we  behold  the  simple  intention  of  crime  so  signally  and  won- 
derfully punished  ,  these  events  furnish  a  striking  warning  against  the 
careless ,  and  ,  it  may  be  ,  vain  display  of  money  or  other  property  in 
strange  places..  To  heedlessness  on  this  score  the  unfortunate  Mr.  Hayes 
fell  a  victim.  The  temptation ,  we  have  seen  ,  proved  tt)0  strong  for  two 
persons  out  of  the  few  who  heard  his  ill  timed  disclosure.

69.  Fingai  outwitting  the  Scotch  Giant. 

Fingal  was  a  giant,  and  no  fool  of  one,  and  any  one  that  affronted 
him  was  sure  of  a  beating.  But  there  was  a  giant  in  Scotland  as  tall  as 
the  mainmast,  more  or  less,  as  we  say  when  we  a'n't  quite  sure.  This 
Scotch  giant  heard  of  Fingal,  and  how  he  had  beaten  every  body,  and 
he  said:  «Who  is  this  Fingal?  I'll  just  walk  over  and  see  what  he's 
made  of».  So  he  walked  across  the  Irish  channel,  and  landed  within 
half  a  mile  of  Belfast,  and  I  suspect  that  he  was  not  dry-footed. 

When  Fingal  heard  that  this  great  chap  was  coming  over,  he  was  in  a 
devil  of  a  fright,  for  they  told  him  that  the  Scotchman  was  taller  by  a  few 
feet  or  so.  So  Fingal  kept  a  sharp  look-out  for  the  Scotchman,  and  one  fine 
morning,  there  he  was,  sure  enough,  coming  up  the  hill  to  Fingal's  house. 
If  Fingal  was  afraid  before,  he  had  more  reason  to  be  afraid,  when  he  saw 
the  fellow;  for  he  looked  for  all  the  world  like  the  Monument  '')  upon  a 
voyage  of  discovery.  So  Fingal  ran  into  his  house,  and  called  to  his  wife 
Shaya,  «myvourneen  *'')»,  says  he,  « be  quick  now;  there's  that  big  bully 
of  a  Scotchman  coming  up  the  hill.  Cover  me  up  with  the  blankets,  and 
if  he  asks  who  is  in  bed,  tell  him  it's  the  child ».  So  Fingal  lay  down 
on  the  bed,  and  his  wife  had  just  time  to  cover  him  up,  when  in  comes 
the  Scothman,  and  though  he  stooped  low,  he  broke  his  head  against  the 
portal.  « Where's  Fingal?))  says  he,  rubbing  his  forehead;  show  him  to 
me,  that  I  may  give  him  a  beating ».  «Whist,  whist » !  cries  Shaya, 
«you'll  wake  the  baby,  and  then  him  that  you  talk  of  beating  will  be  the 
death  of  you,  if  he  comes  in».  «Is  that  the  baby?»  cried  de  Scotchman 
with  surprise,  looking  at  the  great  carcass  muffled  up  in  the  blankets. 
tSure  it  is»,  replied  Shaya,  «and  Fingal's  baby  too;  so  don't  you  wake 
him,  or  Fingal  will  twist  your  neck  in  a  minute ».  «By  the  cross  of  St. 
Andrew* ,  replied  the  giant,  then  it's  time  for  me  to  be  off;  for  if  that's 
his  baby,  I'll  be  but  a  mouthful  to  the  fellow  himself.  Good  morning  to 
ye».  So  the  Scotch  giant  ran  out  of  the  house,  and  never  stopped  to  eat 
or  drink  until  he  got  back  to  his  own  hills;  foreby  he  was  nearly  drown- 
ed in  having  mistaken  his  passage  across  the  Channel  in  his  great 
hurry.  Then  Fingal  got  up  and  laughed,  as  well  as  he  might,  at  his  own 
acuteness;  and  so  ends  my  story  about  Fingal.  (Marryat).

My  aunt  was  a  lady  of  large  frame,  strong  mind,  and  great  resolu- 
tioo;  she  was  what  might  be  termed  a  very  manly  woman.  My  uncle  was 
a  thin,  puny,  little  man,  very  meek  and  acquiescent;  it  was  observed 
that  he  dwindled  and  dwindled  gradually  away,  from  the  day  of  his 
marriage.  My  aunt,  however,  took  all  possible  care  of  him;  all  was  in 
vain.  BIy  uncle  grew  worse  and  worse  the  more  dosing  and  nursing  he 
underwent,  until  in  the  end  he  added  another  to  the  long  list  of  matri- 
monial victims  who  have  been  killed  with  kindness.  My  aunt  took  on 
mightily  for  the  death  of  her  poor  dear  husband.  Perhaps  she  felt  more 
compunction  at  having  given  him  so  much  physic  and  nursed  him  into 
his  grave.  At  any  rate,  she  did  aU  that  a  widow  could  do  to  honour  his 
memory.  She  spared  no  expense  in  either  the  quantity  or  quality  of  her 
mourning  weeds:  she  wore  a  miniature  of  him  about  her  neck  as  large 
as  a  little  sundial;  and  she  had  a  full-length-portrait  of  him  always  hang- 
ing in  her  bedchamber.  All  the  world  extolled  her  conduct  to  the  skies; 
and  it  was  determined  that  a  woman,  who  behaved  so  weH  to  the  me- 
mory of  one  husband,  deserved  soon  to  get  another.  It  was  not  long  after 
this  that  she  went  to  take  up  her  residence  in  an  old  country-seat  in 
Derbyshire,  which  had  long  been  in  the  care  of  merely  a  steward  and  a 
housekeeper.  She  took  most  of  her  servants  with  her,  intending  to  make 
it  her  principal  abode.  The  house  stood  in  a  lonely,  wild  part  of  the 
country,  among  the  gray  Derbyshire  hiUs,  with  a  murderer  hanging  in 
chains  on  a  bleak  height  in  full  view.  The  servants' from  town  were  half 


—    73    — 

frightened  out  of  their  wits  at  the  idea  of  living  in  such  a  dismal  pagan - 
looking  place,  especially  when  they  got  together  in  the  servants'  hall  in 
the  evening,  and  compared  notes  on  all  the  hobgoblin  stories  they  had 
picked  up  in  the  course  of  the  day.  They  were  afraid  to  venture  alone 
about  the  gloomy,  black-looking  chambers.  My  aunt  herself  seemed  to 
be  struck  with  the  lonely  appearance  of  the  house.  Before  she  went  to 
bed,  therefore,  she  examined  well  the  fastnesses  of  the  doors  and  win- 
dows, locked  up  the  plate  with  her  own  hands,  and  carried  the  keys, 
together  with  a  little  box  of  money  and  jewels,  to  her  own  room;  for  she 
was  a  notable  woman,  and  always  saw  to  all  things  herself.  Having  put 
the  keys  under  her  pillow,  and  dismissed  her  maid,  she  sat  by  her  toilet, 
arranging  her  hair;  when  all  of  a  sudden  she  thought  she  heard  some- 
thing move  behind  her.  —  She  looked  hastily  round,  but  there  was  no- 
thing to  be  seen,  nothing  but  the  grimly  painted  portrait  of  her  poor  dear 
man,  which  had  been  hung  against  the  wall.  She  gave  a  heavy  sigh  to 
his  memory,  as  she  was  accustomed  to  do,  whenever  she  spoke  of  him 
in  company,  and  then  went  on  adjusting  her  night-dress.  Her  sigh  was 
re-echoed,  or  answered  by  a  long-drawn  breath.  She  looked  round  again, 
but  no  one  was  to  be  seen.  She  ascribed  these  sounds  to  the  wind  oozing 
through  the  rat-holes  of  the  old  mansion,  and  proceeded  leisurely  to  put 
her  hair  in  papers,  when,  all  at  once,  she  thought  she  perceived  one  of 
the  eyes  of  the  portrait  move . 

So  strange  a  circumstance,  as  you  may  well  suppose,  gave  her  a 
sudden  shock.  To  assure  herself  of  the  fact,  she  put  one  hand  to  her 
forehead  as  if  rubbing  it;  peeped  through  her  fingers,  and  moved  the 
candle  with  the  other  hand.  The  light  of  the  taper  gleamed  on  the  eye, 
and  was  reflected  from  it.  She  was  sure  it  moved.  Nay  more,  it  seemed 
to  give  her  a  wink,  as  she  had  sometimes  known  her  husband  to  do  when 
living.  It  struck  a  momentary  chill  to  her  heart;  for  she  was  a  lone  wo- 
man, and  felt  herself  fearfully  situated. 

The  chill  was  but  transient.  My  aunt  became  instantly  calm  and  col- 
lected; she  went  on  adjusting  her  dress.  She  even  hummed  an  air,  and 
did  not  make  a  single  false  note.  She  casually  overturned  a  dressing  box, 
took  a  candle, and  picked  up  the  articles  one  by  one  from  the  floor,  pur- 
sued a  rolling  pincushion  that  was  making  the  best  of  its  way  under  the 
bed,  then  opened  the  door,  looked  for  an  instant  into  the  corridor,  as  if 
in  doubt  whether  to  go,  and  then  walked  quietly  out.  She  hastened  down 

10 


_  u  - 

stairs,  ordered  the  servants  to  arm  themselves  with  the  weapons  that 
first  came  to  hand,  placed  herself  at  their  head,  and  returned  almost  im- 
mediately. Her  hastily  levied  army  presented  a  formidable  force.  The 
steward  had  a  rusty  blunderbuss,  the  coachman  a  loaded  whip,  the  foot- 
man a  pair  of  horse-pistols,  the  cook  a  huge  chopping-knife,  and  the 
butler  a  bottle  in  each  hand.  My  aunt  led  the  van  with  a  red-hot  poker, 
and,  in  my  opinion,  she  was. the  most  formidable  of  the  party.  The 
waitiug-maid,  who  dreaded  to  stay  alone  in  the  servants'  hall,  brought 
up  the  rear,  smelling  to  a  bottle  of  volatile  salts,  and  expressing  her 
terror  of  the  ghosts. 

« Ghosts !»  said  my  aunt  rosolutely.  «ru  singe  their  whiskers  for 
them ! » 

They  entered  the  chamber.  All  was  still  and  undisturbed  as  when 
she  had  left  it.  They  approached  the  portrait  of  my  uncle.  «Pull  me  down 
that  picture! »  cried  my  aunt.  A  heavy  groan,  and  a  sound  like  the  chat- 
tering of  teeth,  issued  from  the  portrait.  The  servants  shrunk  back;  the 
maid  uttered  a  faint  shriek,  and  clung  to  the  footman  for  support. 

«Instantly!»  added  my  aunt,  with  a  stamp  of  the  foot.  The  picture 
was  pulled  down,  and  from  a  recess  behind  it,  in  which  had  formerly 
stood  a  clock,  they  hauled  forth  a  round  shouldered,  black-bearded  var- 
let,  with  a  knife  as  long  as  my  arm,  but  tremblimg  all  over  like  an  aspen 
leaf.  The  vagabond  was  a  loose  idle  fellow  of  the  neighbourhood,  who 
had  once  been  a  servant  in  the  house,  and  had  been  employed  to  assist 
in  arranging  it  for  the  reception  of  its  mistress  He  confessed  that  he  had 
stolen  into  her  chamber  to  violate  her  purse,  and  rifle  her  strong  box, 
when  all  the  house  should  be  asleep.  He  had  contrived  his  hiding-place 
for  his  nefarious  purposes,  and  had  borrowed  an  eye  from  the  portrait 
by  way  of  a  reconnoitring  hole. 

My  aunt  was  a  woman  of  spirit,  and  apt  to  take  the  law  in  her  own 
hands.  She  had  her  own  notions  of  cleanliness  also.  She  ordered  the 
fellow  to  be  drawn  through  the  horsepond,  to  cleanse  away  all  offences, 
and  then  to  be  well  rubbed  down  with  an  oaken  towel.

71.   James  V  travelling  in  Disguise. 

James  V,  Kiug  of  Scotland,  had  a  custom  of  going  about  the  country 
disguised  as  a  private  person,  in  order  that  he  might  hear  complaints 
which  might  not  otherwise  reach  his  ears,  and,  perhaps,  that  he  might 
enjoy  amusements  which  he  could  not  have  partaken  of  in  his  avowed 
royal  character. 

Upon  such  an  occasion  King  James  fell  into  a  quarrel  with  some  gip- 
sies, or  rather  vagrants,  and  was  assaulted  by  four  or  five  of  them.  This 
chanced  to  he  very  near  the  Bridge  of  Cramond;  so  the  King  got  on  the 
Bridge  which,  as  it  was  high  and  narrow,  enabled  him  to  defend  himself 
with  his  sword  against  the  number  of  persons  by  whom  he  was  attacked. 
There  was  a  poor  man  thrashing  corn  in  a  barn  near  by,  who  came  out 
on  hearing  the  noise  of  the  scuffle,  and  seeing  one  man  defending  himself 
against  numbers,  gallantly  took  his  part  with  his  flail  to  such  purpose, 
that  the  gipsies  were  obliged  to  flee.  The  husbandman  then  took  the  King 
into  the  barn,  brought  him  a  towel  and  water  to  wash  the  blood  from 
his  face  and  hands,  and  finally  walked  with  him  a  little  way  towards 
Edinburgh,  in  case  he  should  he  again  attacked.  On  the  way,  the, King 
asked  his  companion  what  and  who  he  was.  The  labourer  answered  that 
his  name  was  John  Howieson,  and  that  he  was  a  bondsman  on  the  farm 
of  Braehead,  near  Cramond,  which  belonged  to  the  King  of  Scotland. 
James  then  asked  the  poor  man,  if  there  was  any  wish  in  the  world, 
which  he  would  particularly  desire  to  see  gratified;  and  honest  John 
confessed,  he  should  think  himself  the  happiest  man  in  Scotland,  were 


—    76    — 

he  hut  proprietor  of  the  farm  on  which  he  wrought  as  a  lahourer.  He 
then  asked  the  King,  in  return,  who  he  was;  and  James  replied,  as  usual, 
that  he  was  the  Goodman  of  Ballengiech,  a  poor  man,  who  had  a  small 
appointment  about  the  palace;  but  he  added,  that  if  JohnHowieson  would 
come  to  see  him  on  the  next  Sunday,  he  would  endeavour  to  repay  his 
manly  assistance,  and,  at  least,  give  him  the  pleasure  of  seeing  the  royal 
apartments. 

John. put  on  his  best  clothes,  and  appearing  at  a  postern  gate  of  the, 
palace,  inquired  for  the  Goodman  of  Ballengiech.  The  King  had  given 
orders  that  he  should  be  admitted;  and  John  found  his  friend,  the  Good- 
man, in  the  same  disguise  which  he  had  formerly  worn.  The  King,  still 
preserving  the  character  of  an  inferior  officer  of  the  household,  conducted 
John  Howieson  from  one  apartment  of  the  palace  to  another,  and  was 
amused  with  his  wonder  and  his  remarks  At  length  he  asked  him  if  he 
should  like  to  see  the  King;  to  which  John  replied,  nothing  would  delight 
him  so  much,  if  he  could  do  so  without  giving  offence.  The  Goodman  of 
Ballengiech,  of  course,  undertook  that  the  King  would  not  be  offended. 
«But»,  said  John,  «how  am  I  to  know  his  Grace  from  the  nobles  who 
will  be  about  him?»  — « Easily »,  replied  his  companion;  call  the  others 
will  be  bare-headed  —  the  King  alone  will  wear  his  hat  or  bonnet.* 

So  speaking,  King  James  introduced  the  countryman  into  a  great  hall 
which  was  filled  by  the  nobility  and  officers  of  the  crown.  John  was  a 
little  frightened,  and  drew  close  to  his  attendant,  but  was  still  unable  to 
distinguish  the  King.  «I  told  you  that  you  should  know  him  by  his  wear- 
ing his  hat»,  said  his  conductor.  «Then»,  said  John,  after  he  had  again 
looked  around  the  room,  «it  must  be  either  you  or  me,  for  all  but  us  two 
are  bare-headed. » 

The  King  laughed  at  John's  fancy;  and,  that  the  good  yeoman  might 
have  occasion  for  mirth  also,  he  made  him  a  present  of  the  farm  of  Brae- 
head,  on  condition  that  John  Howieson,  or  his  successors,  should  be 
ready  to  present  a  ewer,  and  basin  for  the  King  to  wash  his  hands,  when 
his  Majesty  should  come  to  Holyrood  palace,  or  should  pass  the  Bridge 
of  Cramond.  Accordingly,  in  the  year  1822,  when  George  IV  came  to 
Scotland,  the  descendant  of  John  Howieson  of  Braehead,  who  still  pos- 
sesses the  estate  which  was  given  to  his  ancestor,  appeared  at  a  solemn 
festival,  and  offered  his  Majesty  water  from  a  silver  ewer,  that  he  might 
perform  the  service  by  which  he  held  his  lands.  (Walter  Scott).

72.  James  Grichton, 

Among  the  favourites  of  nature,  that  have  from  time  to  time  appeared 
in  the  world,  none  seems  to  have  been  more  exalted  above  the  common 
rate  of  humanity,  than  the  man  known  by  the  appellation  of  the  Admir- 
able Crichton;  whatever  we  may  suppress  of  his  history  as  surpassing 
credibility,  yet  we  shall  relate  enough  to  rank  him  among  prodigies. 

«Virtue»,  says  Virgil,  «is  better  accepted  when  it  comes  in  a  pleasing 
form»;  but  his  beauty  was  consistent  with  such  activity  and  strength, 
that  in  fencing  he  would  spring  at  one  bound  the  length  of  twenty  feet 
upon  his  antagonist;  and  he  used  the  sword  in  either  hand  with  such 
force  and  dexterity,  that  scarce  any  one  had  courage  to  engage  him. 

Having  studied  at  St.  Andrew's  in  Scotland,  he  went  to  Paris  in  his 
twenty-first  year,  and  affixed  on  the  gate  of  the  college  of  Navarre  a  kind 
of  challenge  to  the  learned  of  that  university  to  dispute  with  him  on  a 
certain  day,  offering  to  his  opponents,  whoever  they  should  be,  the 
choice  of  ten  languages,  and  of  _all  the  sciences.  On  the  day  appointed 
three  thousand  auditors  assembled,  four  doctors  of  the  church  and  fifty 
mast^ers  appeared  against  him;  and  one  of  his  antagonists  confesses  that 


_    7S    -~- 

the  doctors  were  defeated,  that  he  gave  proofs  of  knowledge  above  the 
reach  of  man,  and  that  a  hundred  years,  passed  without  food  or  sleep, 
would  not  be  sufficient  for  the  attainment  of  his  learning.  After  a  dispu- 
tation of  nine  hDurs,  he  was  presented  by  the  president  and  professors 
with  a  diamond  and  a  purse  of  gold,  and  dismissed  with  repeated  ac- 
clamations. 

From  Paris  he  went  to  Rome,  where  he  made  the  same  challenge, 
and  had  in  the  presence  of  the  Pope  and  cardinals  the  same  success.  He 
then  visited  Padua,  where  he  engaged  in  another  public  disputation, 
beginning  his  performance  with  an  extemporal  poem  in  praise  of  the  city 
and  the  assembly  then  present,  and  concluding  with  an  oration  equally 
unpremeditated  in  commendation  of  ignorance. 

Besides  these  stupendous  acquisitions  of  learning,  Crichton  practised 
in  great  perfection  the  arts  of  drawing  and  painting;  he  was  an  eminent 
performer  in  both  vocal  and  instrumental  music;  he  danced  with  uncom- 
mon gracefulness,  and  on  the  day  after  his  disputation  at  Paris  exhibit- 
ed his  skill  in  horsemanship  before  the  court  of  France,  where  at  a  pub- 
lic match  of  tilting,  he  bore  away  the  ring  upon  his  lance  fifteen  times 
together. 

He  excelled  likewise  in  games  of  less  dignity  and  reputation :  in 
the  interval  of  his  challenge  and  disputation  at  Paris,  lie  spent  so  much 
of  his  time  at  cards,  dice,  and  tennis,  that  a  lampoon  was  fixed  upon 
the  gate  of  the  Sorbonne,  directing  those  who  would  see  this  monster 
of  erudition,  to  look  for  him  at  the  tavern. 

So  extensive  was  his  acquaintance  with  life  and  manners,  that  in  an 
Italian  comedy  composed  by  himself,  and  exhibited  before  the  court  of 
Mantua,  he  is  said  to  have  acted  fifteen  different  characters.  He  had  such 
power  of  memory,  that  once  hearing  an  oration  of  an  hour,  he  would 
repeat  it  exactly,  and  in  the  recital  follow  the  speaker  through  all  his 
variety  of  tone  and  gesticulation. 

Nor  was  his  skill  in  arms  less  than  in  learning,  or  his  courage  in- 
ferior to  his  skill.  There  was  a  prize-fighter  at  Mantua,  who  travelled 
about  the  world,  according  to  the  barbarous  custom  of  that  age,  as  a  gen- 
eral challenger,  and  had  defeated  the  most  celebrated  masters  in  many 
parts  of  Europe.  In  Mantua  where  he  then  resided,  he  had  killed  three 
that  appeared  against  him.  The  Duke  repented  that  he  had  granted  him 
protection;  when  Crichton,  looking  on  his  sanguinary  success  with  indig- 


—   79    - 

nation,  offered  to  stake  fifteen  hundred  pistoles ,  and  mount  the  stage 
against  him.  The  Duke  with  some  reluctance  consented,  and  on  the  day 
fixed  the  combatants  appeared:  their  weapon  seems  to  have  been  the  ra- 
pier which  was  then  newly  introduced  into  Italy.  The  prize-fighter  ad- 
vanced with  great  violence  end  fierceness,  and  Crichton  contented  him- 
self calmly  to  ward  his  passes,  and  suffered  him  to  exhaust  his  vigour 
by  his  own  fury.  Crichton  then  became  the  assailant,  and  pressed  upon 
him  with  such  force  and  agility,  that  he  thrust  him  thrice  through  the 
body,  and  saw  him  expire:  he  then  divided  the  prize  he  had  won  among 
the  widows  whose  husbands  had  been  killed, 

The  Duke  of  Mantua  having  received  so  many  proofs  of  his  various 
merits,  made  him  tutor  to  his  son  Vincentio  of  Gouzaga,  a  prince  of 
loose  manners  and  turbulent  disposition!.  But  his  honour  was  of  short 
continuance:  for  as  he  was  one  night,  in  the  time  of  carnival,  rambling 
about  the  streets,  with  his  guitar  in  his  hand,  he  was  attacked  by  six 
men  masked.  Neither  his  courage  nor  his  skill  in  this  exigence  deserted 
him:  he  opposed  them  with  such  activity  and  spirit,  that  he  soon  disper- 
sed them,  and  disarmed  their  leader  who,  throwing  off  his  mask,  disco- 
vered himself  to  be  the  Prince,  his  pupil.  Crichton,  falling  on  his  knees, 
took  his  own  sword  by  the  point,  and  presented  it  to  the  Prince  who 
immediately  seized  it,  and  instigated,  as  some  say,  by  jealousy,  accord- 
ing to  others  only  by  drunken  fury  and  brutal  resentment,  thrust  him 
through  the  heart. 

Thus  was  the  Admirable  Crichton  brought  into  that  state,  in  which 
he  could  excel  the  meanest  of  mankind  only  by  a  few  empty  honours 
paid  to  his  memory:  the  Court  of  Mantua  testified  their  esteem  by  a  pub- 
lic mourning,  the  contemporary  wits  were  profuse  of  their  encomiums, 
and  the  palaces  of  Italy  were  adorned  with  pictures,  representing  him 
on  horseback,  with  a  lance  in  one  hand,  and  a  book  in  the  other.

73.  Sir  Sidney  Smith's  Escape. 

Sir  Sidney  Smith,  who  was  charged  by  Admiral  Hood  with  the  duty 
of  burning  the  French  fleet  at  Toulon,  in  i793,  fell  into  the  hands  of  the 
French  two  years'  later ,  and  was  treated  with  considerable  severity  as  a 
prisoner  of  war.  Confined  in  the  Temple,  that  gloomy  prison  in  Paris,  in 
which  the  unfortunate  Louis  the  Sixteenth  and  Marie  Antoinette  spent 
their  last  days,  the  unwholesome  closeness  of  his  dungeon  brought  onau 
illness  which  for  a  time  threatened  to  put  an  end  to  his  career.  In  this  con- 
dition ,  prompted  by  the  impulses  of  his  own  generous  nature ,  he  wrote 
a  letter  to  Napoleon  Bonaparte ,  imploring  him  to  order  that  he ,  a  dying 
prisoner ,  might  be  allowed  to  breathe  the  air  beyond  his-prison  walls. 
No  answer  was  returned  to  this  request;  but  Sir  Sidney  soon  after  revi- 
ving, a  plan  was  successfully  devised ,  by  which  he  effected  his  escape. 

A  friend  had  provided  him  with  a  false  passport,  a  sword,  a  pistol, 
and  a  loose  great-coat;  and  thus  provided,  sleeping  by  night  in  obscure 
road- side  cabarets,  and  by  day  proceeding  cautiously  by  bye-roads,  he 
made  his  way  through  Normandy.  Following  the  windings  of  the  Seine, 
and  avoiding  Rouen  and  other  great  citios ,  he  finally  got  to  the  coast  in 
the  neighbourhood  of  Havre.  This  was  a  dangerous  spot,  for  it  was  here 


-    81  — 

that  he  had  been  captured ,  and  consequently  his  person  was  known  to 
the  authorities;  but  he  was  aware  that  a  number  of  British  ships  of  war 
were  blockading  that  port,  and  if  he  could  only  communicate  with  these, 
he  knew  that  his  escape  would  be  easy.  Having  secreted  himself  in  a  little 
town  at  a  considerable  distance  from  the  coast,  he  walked  to  the  sea  shore, 
where  he  arrived  in  the  dusk  of  the  evening  and  here,  at  length,  he  was 
so  fortunate  as  to  find  a  solitary  fisherman  in  charge  of  several  boats. 
Sir  Sidney ,  who  had  spoken  French  from  a  child  with  the  fluency  of  a 
native,  told  the  man  that  he  had  a  particular  reason  for  wishing  to  visit 
one  of  the  English  ships  lying  off  the  harbour,  and  that  he  would  give  a 
handsome  reward  to  be  conveyed  aboard.  The  poor  fisherman  consented 
on  condition  that  the  stranger  would  wait  till  it  was  later,  and  meanwhile 
invited  him  to  his  cottage  to  take  rest  before  starting.  Sir  Sidney  accepted 
his  offer ,  and  followed  him  to  a  cottage  ,  where  a  poor  old  woman ,  the 
fisherman's  wife,  spread  a  cloth  and  laid  before  th6m  a  good  supper.  But 
their  guest  was  too  unwell  to  eat,  and  was  not  unnaturally  anxious  lest 
the  man  should  only  have  asked  for  delay  in  order  to  betray  him.  He  was 
now,  however,  in  their  power,  and  it  was  useless  to  hesitate;  so  he 
merely  asked  for  leave  to  lie  down  and  sleep  until  the  time  to  depart  had 
arrived.  The  woman  accordingly  gave  him  a  clean  mattress  in  the  room 
in  which  they  sat;  and  here,  worn  out  with  a  long  day's  walk,  he  wrap- 
ped himself  in  his  cloak  and  slept. 

At  the  appointed  hour  the  fisherman  awoke  his  guest,  and  bade  him 
follow  him.  Sir  Sidney  started  from  his  place  and  obeyed ,  and  with  a 
joyful  heart  stepped  into  the  boat  which  lay  waiting  for  them  in  a  little 
cove.  Feeling  himself  once  more  upon  his  native  element,  after  so  many 
wanderings ,  the  gallant  sailor  drew  his  cloak  around  him  with  an  invo- 
luntary gesture  of  satisfaction,  which  the  man  observed,  but  mistook  its 
meaning.  To  Sir  Sidney's  surprise ,  he  laid  his  hand  upon  his  shoulder, 
and  said,  «Do  not  hide  yourself,  Sir,  from  me;  for  I  have  known  you 
all  along».  Sir  Sidney  was  scarcely  alarmed  by  this  speech;  for  they  were 
alone ,  and  he  was  armed.  «If  you  indeed  know  me»  ,  he  said  calmly, 
« who -am  I?»  «You  are  Commodore  Smith »,  replied  the  man;  «you  more 
than  once  gave  me  a  glass  of  spirits  with  your  own  hands,  when  I  have 
come  in  my  boat,  the  Diamond,  on  wet  nights,  to  sell  fish  to  your  crew; 
and  I  should  be  a  scoundrel  if  I  betrayed  you». 

In  telling  this  anecdote  to  a  friend  ,  long  afterwards ,  Sir  Sidney  re- 

11 


—    82    — 

marked,  «You  see  by  this  occurrence  that  no  man  can  be  aware  how  the 
most  apparently  trifling  events  may  influence  his  future  safety,  nor  how 
humble  may  be  the  individual  who  may  have  his  life  or  liberty  in  his 
hands.  And  thus,  my  friend,  Almighty  Providence  appears  to  weave  to- 
gether all  his  creatures  in  a  mutual  kindly  dependence,  so  that  none  may 
say,  'I  can  have  no  need  of  you?'»  The  little  fishing -boat  conveyed  its 
freight  safely  to  the  side  of  a  British  man-of-war ,  the  «Argo»  frigate, 
which  joyfully  took  him  aboard,  and  without  loss  of  time  brought  him  to 
England,  where  the  return  from  his  perilous  adventures,  of  this  great 
favourite  of  the  people,  was  welcomed  with  almost  a  national  rejoicing.

74.   A  Uangei'ous  Journey  in  Labrador. 

Samuel  Liebisch  was  required  by  the  duties  of  his  office,  to  visit 
Okkak,  the  most  northern  of  the  settlements,  and  about  one  hundred  and 
fifty  English  miles  distant  from  Nain,  the  place  where  he  resided.  Ano- 
ther European,  named  Turner,  being  appointed  to  accompany  him,  they 
left  Nain  on  March  Uth,  1782,  early  in  the  morning  with  very  clear 
weather,  the  stars  shining  with  uncommon  lustre.  —  The  sledge  drawn 
by  dogs,  in  which  the  brethren  travelled,  was  driven  by  the  baptized 
Esquimaux,  Mark;  and  another  sledge  carrying  some  heathen  Esquimaux 
joined  company. 

The  two  sledges  contained  five  men,  one  woman,  and  a  child.  AU 
were  in  good  spirits,  and  appearances  being  much  in  their  favour,  they 


-    83   — 

hoped  to  reach  Okkak  in  safety,  in  two  or  three  days.  The  track  over 
the  frozen  sea  was  in  the  best  possible  order,  and  they  went  with  ease 
at  the  rate  of  six  or  seven  miles  an  hour.  After  they  had  passed  the  is- 
lands in  the  bay  of  Nain,  they  kept  at  a  sonsiderable  distance  from  the 
coast,  both  to  gain  the  smoothest  part  of  the  ice,  and  to  weather  the  high 
rocky  promontory  of  Kiglapeit.  About  eight  o'clock  they  met  a  sledge 
with  Esqimaux,  turning  in  from  the  sea.  After  the  usual  salutations,  the  Es- 
quimaux alighting,  held  some  conversations,  as  is  their  general  practice, 
the  result  of  which  was,  that  some  hints  were  thrown  out  by  the  strange 
Esquimaux,  that  it  might  be  as  well  to  return.— However,  as  the  Mission- 
aries saw  no  reason  whatever  for  it,  and  only  suspected  that  the  Es- 
quimaux wished  to  enjoy  the  company  of  their  friends  a  little  longer, 
they  proceeded.  —  After  some  time,  their  own  Esquimaux  hinted  that 
there  was  a  ground  swell  under  the  ice.  It  was  then  hardly  perceptible, 
except  on  lying  down  and  applying  the  ear  close  to  the  ice,  when  a  hol- 
low disagreeable,  grating  and  roaring  noise  was  heard,  as  if  ascending 
from  the  abyss.  The  weather  remained  clear,  except  towards  the  east, 
where  a  bank  of  light  clouds  appeared,  interspersed  with  some  dark 
streaks.  But  the  wind  being  strong  from  the  north  west,  nothing  less  than 
a  sudden  change  of  weather  was  expected. 

The  sun  had  now  reached  its  height,  and  there  was  as  yet  little  or 
no  alteration  in  the  appearance  of  the  sky.  But  the  motion  of  the  sea 
under  the  ice  had  grown  more  perceptible,  so  as  rather  to  alarm  the 
travellers,  and  they  began  to  think  it  prudent  to  keep  closer  to  the  shore. 
The  ice  had  cracks  and  large  tissures  in  many  places,  some  of  which 
formed  chasms  of  one  or  two  feet  wide;  but  as  they  are  not  uncommon, 
even  in  its  best  state,  and  the  dogs  easily  leap  over  them,  the  sledge 
following  without  danger,  they  are  only  terrible  to  new  comers,  inexpe- 
rienced in  the  peculiarities  of  Labrador  travelling. 

As  soon  as  the  sun  declined  towards  the  west,  the  wind  increased, 
and  rose  to  a  storm,  the  bank  of  clouds  from  (he  east  began  to  ascend, 
and  the  dark  streaks  lo  put  themselves  in  motion  against  the  wind.  The 
snow  was  violently  driven  about,  by  partial  whirlwinds  both  on  the  ice, 
and  from  of  the  peaks  of  the  high  mountains,  and  filled  the  air.  At  the 
same  time  the  ground  swell  had  increased  so  much,  that  its  effect  upon 
the  ice  became  very  extraordinary  and  alarming.  The  sledges,  instead  of 
gliding  along  smoothly,  upon  an  even  surface,  sometimes  ran  with  vio- 


-    84    — 

leBce  after  the  dogs,  and  shortly  after  seemed  with  difficulty  to  ascend 
the  rising  hill;  for  the  elasticity  of  so  vast  a  body  of  ice,  of  many 
leagues  square,  supported  by  a  troubled  sea,  though  in  some  places  three 
or  four  yards  in  thickness,  would,  in  some  degree,  occasion  an  undula- 
tory  motion,  not  uolike  that  of  a  sheet  of  paper,  accommodating  itself  to 
the  surface  of  a  rippling  stream.  Noises  were  likewise  distinctly  heard 
in  many  directions,  like  the  report  of  a  cannon,  owing  to  the  bursting  of 
the  ice  at  some  distance. 

The  Esquimaux,  therefore,  drove  with  all  haste  towards  the  shore, 
intending  to  take  up  their  night  quarters  on  the  south  side  of  Uivak,  But, 
as  it  plainly  appeared  that  the  ice  would  break  and  disperse  in  the  open 
sea,  Mark  advised  to  push  forward  to  the  North  of  Uivak,  from  whence 
he  hoped  the  track  to  Okkak  might  still  remain  entire.  To  this  proposal 
the  company  agreed;  but  when  the  sledges  approached  the  coast,  the  pro- 
spect before  them  was  truly  terrific.  The  ice  having  broken  loose  from 
the  rocks,  was  forced  up  and  down,  grinding  and  breaking  into  a  thou- 
sand pieces  against  the  precipices  with  a  tremendous  noise  which,  added 
to  the  raging  of  the  wind  and  the  snow  driving  about  in  the  air,  deprived 
the  travellers  almost  of  the  power  of  hearing  and  seeing  any  thing  dis- 
tinctly. To  make  the  land  at  any  risk,  was  now  the  only  hope  left,  but 
it  was  with  the  utmost  difficulty  the  frightened  dogs  could  be  forced  for- 
ward, the  whole  body  of  ice  sinking  frequently  below  the  surface  of  the 
rocks,  and  then  rising  above  it.  As  the  only  moment  to  land  was  that, 
when  it  gained  the  level  of  the  coast,  the  attempt  was  extremely  nice  and 
hazardous.  However,  providentially,  it  succeeded:  both  sledges  gained 
the  shore,  and  were  drawn  up  the  beach  with  much  difficulty. 

The  travellers  had  hardly  time  to  reflect  with  gratitude  to  God,  on 
their  safety,  when  that  part  of  the  ice,  from  which  they  had  just  now 
made  good  their  landing,  burst  asunder,  and  the  water  forcing  itself  from 
below,  covered  and  precipitated  it  into  the  sea.  In  an  instant,  as  if  by  a 
signal  given,  the  whole  mass  of  ise,  extending  for  several  miles  from 
the  coast,  and  as  far  as  the  eye  could  reach,  began  to  burst  and  to  be 
overwhelmed  by  the  immense  waves.  The  sight  was  tremendous  and 
awfully  grand,  the  large  fields  of  ice  raising  themselves  out  of  the  water, 
striking  against  each  other  and  plunging  into  the  deep  with  a  violence 
not  to  be  described,  and  a  noise  like  the  discharge  of  innumerable  bat- 
teries of  heavy  guns.  The  darkness  of  the  night,  the  roaring  of  the  wind 


—    85    - 

and  sea,  and  the  dashing  of  the  waves  and  ice  against  the  rocks,  filled 
the  travellers  with  sensations  of  awe  and  horror,  so  as  almost  to  deprive 
them  of  the  power  of  utterance.  They  stood  overwhelmed  with  astonish- 
ment at  their  miraculous  escape,  and  even  the  heathen  Esquimaux  ex- 
pressed gratitude  to  God  for  their  deliverance.

75.  Over  the  Rapids. 

On  the  29-th  of  April,  1810,  a  party  of  Englishmen  embarked  at 
Pointe  du  Lac,  on  Lake  St.  Frances,  in  Canada,  in  an  American  barge, 
or  broad  flat-bottomed  boat,  deeply  laden  with  wood  ashes,  passengers, 
and  baggage,  with  the  intention  of  proceeding  down  the  River  St.  Law- 
rence. The  adventures  of  this  little  river  vessel  and  its  passengers  have 
been  related  by  one  of  the  party  in  a  narrative  which,  for  exciting  inter- 
est, may  be  compared  with  any  of  the  most  thrilling  stories  of  disaster 
by  wreck. 

Above  Montreal,  for  nearly  a  hundred  miles,  the  River  St.  Lawrence, 
as  is  well  known,  is  interrupted  in  its  course  by  rapids  which  are  occa- 


-    86   -»- 

sioned  by  the  river  being  confined  within  comparatively  narrow,  shallow, 
rocky  channels.  Through  these  it  rushes  with  great  force  and  noise,  and 
is  agitated  like  the  ocean  in  a  storm.  By  some,  these  rapids  have  been 
admired  for  grandeur  and  appearance  more  than  the  Falls  of  Niagara. 
They  are  from  half  a  mile  to  nine  miles  long  each,  and  require  regular 
pilots.  On  the  30-th  of  April,  the  party  arrived  at  the  village  of  the 
Cedars,  immediately  below  which  are  three  sets  of  very  dangerous  rapids— 
the  Cedars,  the  Split  Rock,  and  the  Cascades  —  distant  from  each  other 
abought  eight  miles.  On  the  morning  of  the  1-st  of  May,  they  set  out 
from  here,  Their  barge  was  very  deep  and  very  leaky;  and  the  captain, 
a  daring,  rash  man,  refused  to  take  a  pilot.  After  they  had  passed  the 
Cedar  Rapid,  not  without  danger,  the  captain  called  for  some  rum,  de- 
claring, at  the  same  time,  that  all  the  powers  could  not  steer  the  barge 
better  than  he  did.  Soon  after  this,  the  boat  entered  the  Split  Rock  Rap- 
ids by  a  wrong  channel,  and,  to  their  horror,  the  passengers  found  them- 
selves advancing  rapidly  towards  a  dreadful  watery  precipice ,  down 
which  they  went.  The  barge  slightly  grazed  her  bottom  against  the  rock, 
and  the  fall  was  so  great  as  nearly  to  take  away  their  hreath.  They  here 
took  in  a  great  deal  of  water,  which  was  mostly  baled  out  again  before 
they  hurried  on  to  what  the  Canadians  call  the  «grand  bouillie»,or  great 
boiling.  In  approaching  this  place,  the  captain  let  go  the  helm,  saying, 
« Now  for  it;  here  we  fill».  The  barge  was  almost  immediately  over- 
whelmed in  the  midst  of  immense  foaming  breakers,  which  rushed  over 
the  bows,  carrying  away  planks,  oars,  and  other  articles.  « About  half  a 
minute  elapsed  between  the  filling  and  going  down  of  the  barge»,  says 
the  narrator  of  this  story,  during  which  I  had  sufficient  presence  of  mind 
to  strip  oif  my  three  coats,  and  was  loosening  my  braces  when  the  barge 
sunk,  and  I  found  myself  floating  in  the  midst  of  people  and  baggage. 
Each  man  caught  hold  of  something:  one  of  the  crew  seized  me,  and  kept 
me  down  under  the  water,  but,  contrary  to  my  expectation,  let  me  go 
again.  On  rising  to  the  surface,  I  got  hold  of  a  trunk,  on  which  two  other 
men  were  then  holding.  Just  at  this  spot,  where  the  Split  Rock  Rapids 
terminated,  the  bank  of  the  river  is  well  inhabited,  and  we  could  see 
women  on  shore  running  about  much  agitated.  A  canoe  put  off ,  and  picked 
up  three  of  our  number,  who  had  gained  the  bottom  of  the  barge  which 
had  upset  and  got  rid  of  its  cargo;  these  they  landed  on  an  island.  The 
canoe  put  off  again,  and  was  approaching  near  to  where  I  was,  with  two 


—   87    — 

others,  holding  on  the  trunk;  when,  terrified  with  the  vicinity  of  the 
cascades,  to  which  we  were  approaching,  it  put  back,  notwithstanding 
my  exhortations  in  French  and  English  to  induce  the  two  men  on  board 
to  advance.  The  bad  hold  which  one  man  had  of  the  trunk  to  which  we 
were  adhering  subjected  him  to  constant  immersion,  and  in  order  to 
escape  his  seizing  hold  of  me,  I  let  go  the  trunk,  and,  in  conjunction 
with  another  man,  got  hold  of  the  boom  which,  with  the  gaff  and  sails, 
had  been  detached  from  the  mast  to  make  room  for  the  cargo,  and  floated 
oif.  I  had  just  time  to  grasp  this  boom,  when  we  were  hurried  into  the 
cascades;  in  these  I  was  instantly  buried,  and  nearly  suffocated.  On  ris* 
ing  to  the  surface,  I  found  one  of  my  hands  still  on  the  boom,  and  my 
companion  also  adhering  closely  to  the  gaff.  Shortly  after  descending  the 
cascades,  1  perceived  the  barge,  bottom  upwards,  floating  near  me.  I 
succeeded  in  getting  to  it,  and  held  by  a  crack  in  one  end  of  it;  the  vio- 
lence of  the  water,  and  the  falling  out  of  the  casks  of  ashes,  had  quite 
wrecked  it.  For  a  long  time  I  contented  myself  with  this  hold,  not  daring 
to  endeavour  to  get  upon  the  bottom,  which  1  at  length  effected,  and  from 
this  my  new  situation  I  called  out  to  my  companion  who  still  preserved 
his  hold  of  the  gaff;  he  shook  his  head,  and  when  the  waves  suffered  me 
to  look  again  he  was  gone.  He  made  no  attempt  to  come  near  me,  being 
unable  or  unwilling  to  let  go  his  hold,  and  trust  himself  to  the  waters 
which  were  then  rolling  over  his  head.» 

The  Cascades  are  a  kind  of  fall,  or  rapid  descent,  in  the  river,  over 
a  rocky  channel  below;  going  down  is  called  by  the  French,  «sauter», 
to  leap  the  Cascades.  For  two  miles  below  the  channel  continues  in  an 
uproar,  just  like  a  storm  at  sea;  and  he  was  frequently  nearly  washed  off 
the  barge  by  the  waves  which  rolled  over  it.  «!  now»,  continued  the 
writer, »  entertained  no  hope  whatever  of  escaping;  and  although  I  con- 
tinued to  exert  myself  to  hold  on,  such  was  the  state  to  which  I  was 
reduced  by  cold,  that  1  wished  only  for  a  speedy  death,  and  frequently 
thought  of  giving  up  the  contest  as  useless.  My  hands  felt  as  if  dimin- 
ished in  size  one  half,  and  I  certainly  should  (after  I  became  very  cold  and 
much  exhausted)  have  fallen  asleep,  but  for  the  waves  that  were  passing 
over  me,  which  obliged  me  to  attend  to  my  situation.  I  had  never  de- 
scended the  St.  Lawrence  before;  but  1  knew  there  were  more  rapids 
ahead,  perhaps  another  set  of  cascades,  but  at  all  events  La  Chine  Rapids 
whose  situation  I  did  not  exactly  know.  1  was  hourly  in  expectation  of

these  putting  an  end  to  me,  and  often  fancied  some  points  of  ice  extend- 
ing from  the  shore  to  the  head  of  foaming  rapids.  At  one  of  the  moments 
in  which  the  succession  of  waves  permitted  me  to  look  up,  I  saw,  at  a 
distance,  a  canoe  with  four  men,  coming  towards  me,  and  waited  in 
confidence  to  hear  the  sound  of  their  paddles;  but  in  this  I  was  dis- 
appointed. The  men,  as  I  afterwards  learned,  were  Indians  who,  happen- 
ing to  fall  in  with  one  of  the  passengers'  trunks,  picked  it  up,  and  re- 
turned to  the  shore  for  the  purpose  of  pillaging  it,  leaving,  as  they  since 
acknowledged,  the  man  on  the-  boat  to  his  fate.  Indeed,  I  am  certain  I 
should  have  more  to  fear  from  their  avarice,  than  to  hope  from  their 
humanity;  and  it  is  more  than  probable  that  my  life  would  have  been 
taken,  to  secure  them  in  the  possession  of  my  watch  and  several  coins 
which  I  had  about  me.» 

The  accident  happened  at  eight  o'clock  in  the  morning;  in  the  course 
of  some  hours,  as  the  day  advanced,  the  sun  grew  warmer,  the  wind 
blew  from  the  south,  and  the  water  became  calmer.  The  shipwrecked 
man  then  got  upon  his  knees,  and  found  himself  in  the  small  lake  of  St. 
Louis,  which  is  about  three  to  five  miles  wide,  and  with  which  he  hap- 
pened to  be  familiar.  With  some  difficulty  he  got  upon  his  feet,  but  was 
soon  convinced,  by  cramps  and  spasms  in  all  his  sinews,  that  he  was 
incapable  of  swimming  any  great  distance,  and  he  was  then  two  miles 
from  the  shore.  He  was  now  going,  he  thought,  with  wind  and  current, 
to  destruction;  and  though  cold,  hungry,  and  fatigued,  was  obliged  again 
to  sit  down  to  rest,  when  an  extraordinary  circumstance  greatly  relieved 
him. 

On  examining  the  wreck,  to  see  if  it  were  possible  to  detach  any  part 
of  it  by  which  to  steer,  he  perceived  something  loose  entangled  in  a 
fork  of  the  wreck,  and  so  carried  along.  This  he  found  to  be  a  small 
trunk,  bottom  upwards,  which,  with  some  difficulty,  he  dragged  up  upon 
the  barge.  After  near  an  hour's  work,  in  which  he  broke  a  p.enknife 
whilst  trying  to  cut  out  the  lock,  he  made  a  hole  in  the  top,  and,  to  his 
great  satisfaction,  drew  out  a  bottle  of  rum,  a  cold  tongue,  some  cheese, 
and  a  bagful  of  bread  and  cakes  all  wet.  Of  these  he  made  a  seasonable, 
though  very  moderate  use;  and  the  trunk  answered  the  purpose  of  a 
chair  to  sit  upon,  elevated  upon  the  surface  of  the  water.  After  in  vain 
endeavouring  to  steer  the  wreck,  or  direct  its  course  to  the  shore,  and 
having  made  every  signal  in  his  power,  with  his  waistcoat  and  other 


—  89  — 

m 
things,  to  the  several  headlands  which  he  had  passed,  he  fancied  he  was 
driving  into  a  bay  which,  however,  soon  proved  to  be  the  termination  of 
the  lake  and  the  opening  of  the  river,  the  current  of  which  was  carrying 
him  rapidly  along.  He  passed  several  small  uninhabited  islands;  but  the 
banks  of  the  river  appearing  to  be  covered  with  houses,  he  again  renewed 
his  signals  with  his  waistcoat  and  a  shirt  which  he  took  out  of  the  trunk, 
hoping,  as  the  river  narrowed,  they  might  be  perceived;  but  the  distance 
was  too  great.  The  velocity  with  which  he  was  going  now  convinced  him 
of  his  near  approach  to  the  dreadful  rapids  of  La  Chine.  Night  was- drawing 
on;  his  destruction  appeared  certain,  but  it  did  not,  he  said,  disturb  him 
very  much;  the  idea  of  death  had  lost  his  novelty,  and  had  become  quite 
familiar.  He  even  felt  more  provoked  at  having  escaped  so  long  to  be 
finally  sacrificed,  than  alarmed  at  the  prospect.  «Finding  signals  in  vain,» 
he  continues,  «1  now  set  up  a  cry  or  howl,  such  as  I  thought  best  cal- 
culated to  carry  a  distance,  and,  being  favoured  by  the  wind,  it  did, 
although  at  above  a  mile  distant,  reach  the  ears  of  some  people  on  shore. 
At  last  I  perceived  a  boat  rowing  towards  me,  which,  being  very  small 
and  white- bottomed,  I  had  for  some  time  taken  for  a  fowl  with  a  white 
breast,  and  finally  I  was  taken  off  the  barge  by  Captain  Johnstone,  after 
being  ten  hours  on  the  water.  I  found  myself  at  the  village  of  La  Chine, 
twenty-one  miles  below  where  the  accident  happened,  having  been  driven 
by  the  winding  of  the  current  a  much  greater  distance.  I  received  no 
other  injury  than  bruised  knees  and  breast,  with  a  slight  cold.  The  acci- 
dent took  some  hold  of  my  imagination,  and  for  seven  or  eight  succeeding 
nights,  in  ray  dreams,  I  was  engaged  in  the  dangers  of  the  Cascades, 
and  surrounded  by  drowning  men.  My  escape  was  owing  to  a  concurrence 
of  fortunate  circumstances.  I  happened  to  catch  hold  of  various  articles 
of  support,  and  to  exchange  each  article  for  another  just  at  the  right 
time.  Nothing  but  the  boom  could  have  carried  me  down  the  Cascades 
without  injury,  and  nothing  but  the  barge  could  have  saved  me  below 
them.  I  was  also  fortunate  in  having  the  whole  day;  had  the  accident 
happend  one  hour  later,  I  should  have  arrived  opposite  the  village  of 
La  Chine  after  dark,  and,  of  course,  would  have  been  destroyed,  in  the 
rapids  below,  to  which  I  was  swiftly  advancing.  The  trunk,  which  fur- 
nished me  with  provisions  and  a  resting-place  above  the  water,  I  have 
every  reason  to  think  was  necessary  to  save  my  life.  Without  it,  Imust

cold  and  hunger.  When  the  people  on  shore  saw  our  boat  take  the  wrong 
channel,  they  predicted  our  destruction;  the  floating  luggage,  by  sup- 
porting us  for  a  time,  enabled  them  to  make  an  exertion  to  save  us;  but 
as  it  was  not  supposed  possible  to  survive  the  passage  of  the  Cascades, 
no  further  exertions  were  thought  of,  nor  indeed  could  they  well  have 
been  made.»  Of  the  eight  men  who  passed  down  the  Cascades,  none  es- 
caped or  were  seen  again  but  the  writer,  who  some  time  afterwards  pub- 
lished his  singular  narrative  in  a  Liverpool  newspaper,  by  the  editor  of 
which  it  was  vouched  for  as  true  in  every  particular. 

It  was  at  this  place  that  General  Amhersfs  brigade,  coming  to  attack 
Canada,  were  lost  in  September,  1760,  the  French  at  Montreal  receiving 
the  first  intelligence  of  the  invasion  by  the  dead  bodies  floating  past  the 
town.  It  was  said  that  the  pilot  who  conducted  their  boats,  being  secretly 
favourable  to  the  French ,  had  committed  the  same  error  as  the  captain 
of  the  barge  in  the  above  narrative.  He  had  intentionally  taken  the  wrong 
channel,  and  the  other  boats,  following  mechanically  and  close  upon  him, 
Avere  all  involved  in  the  same  destruction.  No  less  than  forty-six  barges, 
seventeen  whale-boats,  one  row-galley  with  eighty  men,  besides  artillery, 
stores,  and  ammunition,  were  then  swept  down  these  terrible  rapids,  and 
entirely  lost.  (The  Temple  Anecdotes).

76.  A  Visit  to  a  Famous  Island. 

According  to  a  well-known  tradition,  the  story  of  «Robinson  Crusoe» 
was  suggested  to  De  Foe  by  the  adventures  of  Alexander  Selkirk  who  was, 
early  in  the  last  century,  cast  away  on  the  desert  island  of  Juan  Fernan- 
dez, off  the  coast  of  South  America,  in  the  Pacific  Ocean;  and  there  seems 
little  doubt  that  De  Foe ,  though  placing  his  imaginary  island  off  a  far 
distant  part  of  the  South  American  coast,  had  really  in  his  mind  the  island 
described  in  the  narrative  of  the  Scottish  sailor's  experiences.  Among 
sailors  this  island  will  probably  always  be  known  as  « Crusoe's  Islands; 
and  as  long  as  the  adventures  of  Robinson  Crusoe  are  read ,  voyagers  in 
those  seas  will  feel  some  curiosity  about  the  traditional  scene  of  that 
famous  story.  Something  of  this  feeling,  mixed  with  a  natural  longing 
for  going  ashore  after  long  beating  about  at  sea  ,  seems  to  have  actuated 
Mr.  Ross  Browne  and  ten  companions  to  pay  a  visit  to  Selkirk's  island, 
under  the  singular  circumstances  related  in  his  narrative  of  «A  Ramble 
in  the  Footsteps  of  Alexander  Selkirk*,  recently  published. 

It  was  early  in  the  morning  of  the  19-th  of  May ,  1849 ,  that  the 
ship  «Anteus»  ,  in  which  Mr.  Browne  was  sailing  as  a  passenger  to  San 
Francisco  ,  came  in  sight  of  the  highest  peak  of  the  mountains  on  the 
island.  The  weather  was  mild  and  clear;  as  the  sun  rose  it  fell  calm,  and 
the  vessel  lay  nearly  motionless.  A  light  blue  spot ,  which  might  have 
passed  for  a  cloud,  but  for  the  indistinctness  of  its  outline ,  was  all  that 
appeared  in  the  horizon.  «Wearyofthe  gales  we  had  encountered  off  Cape 
Horn*,  says  Mr.  Browne,  »it  was  a  pleasant  thing  to  see  a  spot  of  earth 
once  more ,  and  there  was  not  a  soul  on  board  but  felt  a  desire  to  go 
ashore*.  For  some  days  past  Mr.  Browne  and  a  few  others  had  talked 
about  making  the  attempt,  in  case  they  came  near  enough;  but  now  there 
seemed  to  be  every  prospect  of  a  long  calm,  and  there  was  no  other  chance 
but  to  lower  a  boat,  and  row  for  the  distant  land.  A  party  of  the  passen- 
gers, headed  by  Mr.  Browne,  agreed  to  do  this,  provided  they  could  get 
a  boat;  and  Mr.  Bingham,  a  fellow-passenger,  who  happened  to  be  owner 


—    92    — 

of  one  of  the  quarter  -  boats ,  fell  with  their  scheme  ,  together  with  his 
partner  and  some  friends.  They  were  sanguine  of  beijig  able  to  row  to 
the  island  before  dusk,  and  return  the  following  day,  and  the  dead  calm 
which  prevailed  promised  them  ample  time  for  a  still  longer  expedition; 
but  knowing  that  their  captain  would  probably  endeavour  to  dissuade 
them  from  their  project ,  they  resorted  to  a  little  strategy  to  accomplish 
it.  They  had  been  in  the  habit  of  rowing  about  the  ship  whenever  it  was 
calm  ,  and  this  provided  a  good  excuse  for  lowering  the  boat.  Being  in 
great  haste  to  launch  it,  they  only  thought  of  a  few  necessary  articles  in 
case  they  should  be  cast  away  or  driven  from  the  island.  Not  knowing 
but  that  there  might  be  outlaws  or  savages  ashore,  they  armed  themselves 
with  a  double-barreled  gun,  a  fusee,  and  an  old  harpoon,  which  was  all 
that  they  could  smuggle  into  the  boat  in  the  excitement  of  starting.  At 
this  time  the  captain  ,  happening  to  come  on  deck ,  heard  the  rumour  of 
their  expedition;  but  he  appears  to  have  thought  that  the  matter  was  a 
mere  frolic,  though  he  warned  them  that  the  peak  which  they  could  see 
in  the  horizon  was  fully  seventy  miles  off.  But  Browne  and  his  compan- 
ions had  no  doubt  that  he  told  them  this  only  to  deter  them ,  and  they 
had  made  up  their  minds  that  the  island  was  not  in  fact  at  more  than 
half  that  distance.  Captain  Brooks  appears  to  have  still  regarded  the  pro- 
ject as  having  more  of  bravado  than  reality  in  it,  and  as  the  boat  pushed 
off,  called  out  good-humouredly,  «Be  sure  not  to  forget  the  peaches;  you 
will  find  plenty  of  them  in  the  valleys.  Only  do  not  lose  sight  of  the  ves- 
sel*. The  boat's  crew  promised  they  would  take  care  of  themselves,  and 
come  back  safely,  if  they  were  not  foundered. 

It  was  about  nine  in  the  morning  as,  with  three  cheers,  they  pushed 
off  from  the  ship.  Their  boat  was  only  twenty-two  feet  long,  and  was 
made  of  sheet-iron,  and  very  narrow.  The  proper  number  of  men  for  it 
was  six,  but,  in  consideration  of  the  distance  and  the  necessity  for  a 
change  at  the  oars,  five  more  were  crowded  into  it.  Most  of  them,  except 
Browne  and  a  whaleman,  named  Paxton,  were  unused  to  rowing,  so  that 
the  prospect  of  reaching  land  depended  upon  the  day  remaining  calm, 
and  upon  keeping  the  boat  trimmed.  « There  was  no  excuse*,  says  Mr. 
Browne,  «for  this  risk  of  life,  save  that  insatiable  thirst  for  novelty, 
which  all  experience,  to  some  extent,  after  the  monotony  of  a  long  voy- 
age. I  will  only  say,  in  regard  to  myself,  that  I  was  too  full  of  joy  at 


-  93  - 

the  idea  of  a  ramble  iu  the  footsteps  of  Robinson  Crusoe  to  think  of  risk  at 
all.  If  there  was  danger,  it  merely  served  to  give  zest  to  the  adventure». 
.  By  their  calculation  of  the  distance  and  the  rate  of  going,  they  ex- 
pected to  reach  the  land  by  sundown,  or  soon  after;  and  their  plan  was 
then  to  make  a  tent  of  the  boat  sail,  and  sleep  under  it  till  morning, 
when,  by  rising  early,  they  thought  they  could  take  a  run  over  the  island, 
and  perhaps  get  some  fruit  and  vegetables.  Should  a  light  breeze  spring 
up  during  the  night,  they  thought  it  likely  the  ship  would  be  well  up 
by  the  land,  when  they  could  pull  out,  and  get  on  board  without  diffi- 
culty.   But  before  long  they  began  to  find  that  distances  at  sea  are  de- 
ceptive.   About  noon,  when  they  ate  their  first  meal, their  ship  had  dis- 
appeared behind  them;  but  still  there  was  but  a  single  peak  visible  on 
the  horizon,  rising  blue  and  dim  in  the  distance,  and  apparently  not 
much  higher  than  when  they  had  seen  it  from  the  masthead  of  their 
ship.  A  ripple  beginning  to  show  upon  the  water,  they  hoisted  their  sail 
to  catch  the  breeze,  and  found  that  it  helped  them  onwards.  All  of  them, 
having  gone  so  far,  were  uoav  in  favour  of  going  on,  though  in  secret 
they  felt  that  there  was  a  great  deal  of  danger,  for  the  sides  of  their 
iron  boat  were  only  an  eighth  of  au  inch  thick,  and  it  was  so  loaded  that 
the  gunwales  rose  scarcely  more  than  ten  inches  out  of  the  water.    At 
sunset  the  land  had  risen  over  the  sea  from  end  to  end,  and  they  hoped 
to  reach  it  in  about  three  hours;  but  none  of  them  knew  anything  about 
the  shores,  whether  they  abounded  in  bays  or  not,  and,  if  so,  where 
any  place  of  landing  eould  be  found,  which  made  them  doubtful  how  to 
steer.  « Clouds »,  says  Mr.  Browne's  narrative,*  were  gathering  all  over 
the  horizon,  a  few  stars  shone  out  dimly  overhead,  and  the  shades  of 
night  began  to  cover  the  island.  Swiftly ,  yet  with  resistless  power,  the 
clouds  swept  over  the  whole  sky,  and  the  horizon  in  all  the  grandeur 
of  its  vast  circle,  was  lost  in  the  shades  of  night.  No  sail  Avas  near;  no 
light  shone  upon  us  now  but  the  dim  rays  of  a  few  solitary  stars  through 
the  rugged  masses  of  clouds;  no  sound  broke  upon  the  listening  ear  save 
the  weary  stroke  of  our  oars;   a  gloom  had  settled  upon  the  mighty 
wilderness  of  waters,  and  we  were  awed  and  silent ^>. 

The  wind  soom  began  to  increase,  and  all  cowered  down  in  the  boat 
to  keep  her  balanced.  The  spray  washed  over  them  fearfully,  and  the 
sail  shook  so  in  the  wind  that,  having  let  go  all,  they  thought  it  would 
tear  the  mast  out.  At  this  time  they  were  about  three  leagues  from  the 


-^   94    --" 

south-east  end  of  the  island,  which  was  the  nearest  point  then  in  sight. 
As  the  clouds  spread  hy  the  attraction  of  the  land,  the  whole  island  he- 
came  wrapped  in  a  dark  mist,  and  in  half  an  hour  they  could  discern 
nothing  but  the  gloom  of  the  storm  around  them,  as  they  bore  down  to- 
wards the  darkest  part.  Their  lamp  was  now  quenched  by  a  heavy  sea, 
and  being  unable  to  distinguish  the  points  of  the  compass,  they  were 
fearful  that  they  should  miss  the  island,  and  be  carried  off  so  far  that 
they  could  never  reach  it  again.  Whenever  there  was  a  lull  they  tried  to 
haul  in  their  sheet,  but  a  sudden  flaw  striking  them  once,  the  boat  lay 
over  till  she  buried  her  gunwales,  and  the  sea  broke  heavily  over  the  lee 
side;  and  the  crew  at  the  same  time  springing  in  a  body  to  the  weather- 
side  to  balance  her,  brought  her  over  suddenly  so  that  it  was  a  miracle 
that  they  were  not  capsized,  which,  had  it  happened  so  far  out  at  sea  in 
the  darkness,  would  have  made  an  end  of  them.  It  was  as  much  as  they 
could  do,  by  bailing  continually,  to  keep  her  afloat,  and  every  moment 
they  expected  to  be  submerged.  They  knew  it  was  four  hundred  miles  to 
the  coast  of  Chili,  and  they  had  neither  water  nor  provisions  left  At 
best  their  position  was  perilous.  Ignorant  of  the  bearings  of  the  harbour, 
they  were  at  a  loss  what  to  do,  even  if  they  should  be  able  to  reach  the 
lee  of  the  island,  for  they  had  seen  that  it  was  chiefly  rock-bound  and 
inaccessible  to  boats. 

About  two  in  the  morning,  as  well  as  they  could  judge,  they  found 
themselves  close  under  the  lee  of  a  high  cliff,  upon  the  base  of  which 
the  surf  broke  with  a  tremendous  roar.  Some  of  the  party,  reckless  of 
the  consequences,  were  in  favour  of  running  straight  in,  and  attempting 
to  gain  the  shore  at  all  hazards.  The  more  prudent  protested  against  the 
folly  of  this  course,  well  knowing  that  they  would  be  inevitably  capsized 
in  the  surf,  and  dashed  to  pieces  upon  the  rocks.  They  accordingly  en- 
deavoured to  lay  off  and  wait  for  daylight.  It  was  a  wild  and  awful  place 
in  the  dead  of  the  night,  it  being  so  dark  that  they  scarcely  knew  where 
they  steered.  Once  they  stopped  to  listen,  fancying  they  heard  voices  on 
the  shore,  but  it  was  only  the  moaning  of  the  tempest  upon  the  cliffs, 
and  the  frightful  beating  of  the  surf  below.  Having  pulled,  as  they  be- 
lieved, about  twelve  miles  along  the  shore,  and  seeing  no  sign  of  a  cove 
or  bay,  they  despaired  of  getting  ashore  before  daylight,  when  they  were 
startled  by  one  of  their  number  crying  out  that  he  saw  a  light.  The  light 
disappeared  and  appeared  again.  It  seemed  at  first  to  be  on  the  shore.

but  finally  they  discovered  that  it  hung  in  the  rigging  of  a  large  vessel, 
which  they  were  enabled  to  hail.  To  the  inquiry,  «Boat  ahoy!  where 
are  you  from?»  the  boat's  crew  replied,  «The  ship  'Anteus',  bound  for 
California:  what  ship  is  this?»  The  answer  was  «The  'Brooklyn',  bound 
for  California ».  No  longer  able  to  suppress  thfeir  joy,  the  boat's  crew 
gave  three  hearty  cheers,  and  after  a  little  while  they  found  means  of 
getting  safely  aboard  the  « Brooklyn »,  where  they  met  with  a  kind  wel- 
come from  the  master.  Captain  Richardson,  and  his  crew. 

To  endeavour  to  regain  the  ship  by  their  boat  was  hopeless;  and  the 
adventurous  boat's  crew  spent  some  days  in  exploring  the  island,  which 
they  found  to  be  inhabited  only  by  sixteen  persons- consisting  of  an  Ame- 
rican and  four  or  five  Chilian  men  with  their  wives  and  children.  Mr. 
Ross  Browne  gives  an  interesting  description  of  the  condition  of  the 
island,  and  pleasantly  interweaves  with  his  narrative  some  fanciful  adven- 
tures, such  as  may  be  supposed  to  haunt  the  dreams  of  cast-aways,  full 
of  the  associations  of  the  place.  Fortunately  for  them,  three  days  later 
the  «Anteus»)  hove  in  sight  of  the  island,  and  the  boat's  crew  were  once 
more  enabled  to  resume  their  voyage  with  no  worse  result  from  their 
adventure  than  a  reprimand  from  the  captain  for  their  rashness  and  dis- 
obedience to  his  orders.  (The  Temple  Anecdotes),

77.   The  Sedar,  and  Leopard  Hunt. 

I  received  a  letter  addressed  to  me  at  Calcutta,  from  a  friend  atBer- 
hampore,  stating  that  several  robberies  had  taken  place  in  my  household 
during  my  absence,  and  that  my  sedar-bearer,  on  whom  I  could  rely, 
had  begged  of  my  friend  to  write  to  me  to  return  as  soon  as  possible. 

This  information  reached  me  as  I  lay  on  my  couch,  completely  worn 
with  the  fatigues  of  the  day  previous;  for  I  had  been  with  some  brother- 
officers  to  Barrackpore,  to  see  a  hunt  by  leopards  —  a  sight  the  most 
curious  that  I  ever  beheld  in  India.  These  animals  are  so  tame,  that  they 
range  at  large,  and  actually  sleep  beside  their  keeper.  This  I  can  vouch 
for,  as  I  have  seen  it.  They  protect  him  with  the  same  fidelity  that  a 
dog  would  defend  his  master,  if  any  stranger  should  approach  him  during 
his  slumbers.  This  I  particularly  know,  as  1  unfortunately  went  to  awake 
him,  unaware  of  his  faithful  guardians,  and  nearly  paid  the  penalty  of  my 
folly.  The  keeper,  however,  started  up,  and  called  them  off.  They  obeyed 
with  the  docility  of  domestic  animals,  and  fell  behind  at  his  word  of 
command.  They  belong,  I  believe,  to  the  Governor-General  for  the  time 
being,  and  are  kept  in  the  park  of  the  government-house.  It  was  here 
that  I  saw  them  run  down  a  deer.  Never  in  my  life  have  I  beheld  any- 
thing so  graceful  in  their  movements,  or  so  rapid  as  their  speed.  Consi- 
derably swifter  than  greyhounds,  they  bounded- along,  and  soon  brought 
down  their  game.  Fatigued  with  the  excitement  of  this  beantiful  sport,  I 
returned  to  Calcutta,  and,  as  I  have  mentioned,  was  lying  on  my  couch 
when  the  information,  conveyed  by  my  friend  atBerhampore  arrived.  No 
time,  however,  was  to  be  lost;  so  starting  up,  1  ordered  my  palanquin 
to  be  brought  to  the  door ,  determined  on  travelling  up  the  one  hundred 
and  sixteen  miles  by  bearers.  This  mode  of  proceeding  may  appear  strange 
to  Europeans,  who  will  scarcely  believe  the  rapidity  with  which  such  a 
journey  is  accomplished.  By  the  river,  on  account  of  the  current,  seven 
days  are  required  to  arrive  at  Berhampore;  by  land,  it  only  takes  twenty- 
eight  hours.  The  bearers,  like  post-horses,  are  relived  every  twelve  or 
fifteen  miles.  Each  relay  consists  of  eight  men,  who  shift  the  burden  to 
each  other  at  the  end  of  about  every  league.  The  others  trot  alongside  to 
rest  themselves,  the  whole  party  singing  and  jolting  on  at  the  rate  of 
about  four  miles  and  a  half  an  hour.  During  the  night  the  disengaged 
bearers  carry  torches,  to  scare  away  the  wild  beasts.  The  fire-flies  buz- 
zing about,  like  innumerable  stars,  add  to  the  beauty  of  the  picture,  and

render  this  scene  most  romantic  and  picturesque;  though  I  must  confess 
the  uneasy  motion,  the  broiling  of  the  sun  in  this  luxurious,  coffin-like 
conveyance,  and  the  fear  of  a  voracious  tiger,  or  other  savage  monster, 
take  away,  in  my  opinion  ,  all  the  charms  which  would  otherwise  gild 
this  mode  of  travelling. 

At  day  break  on  the  second  morning,  (for  I  had  halted  a  few  hours 
at  Aghardeep),  I  arrived  in  the  cantonments,  and  entered  my  house,  which 
stood  in  an  extensive  barrack-square. 

After  breakfasting  most  luxuriously  on  Bombay  ducks,  (a  small  salt 
fish,  something  like  the  European  caplin),  the  sable  fish,  (closely  resem- 
bling our  salmon)  and  snipes ,  which  are  here  far  more  plentiful  than 
•sparrows  in  England  ,  I  secretly  sent  for  the  wise  man  of  the  place  to 
come  and  discover  the  thief;  then,  ordering  the  servants  to  fall  in,  in  a 
row  under  the  verandah,  I  quietly  and  confidently  awaited  his  arrival.  I 
had  often  seen  his  powers  tested,  and  never  knew  them  fail.  lam  aware 
that  my  country-men  will  smile  at  my  credulity;  but,  as  I  have  the  con- 
viction from  personal  and  constant  observation,  I  do  not  hesitate  to  assert, 
that  his  manner  of  discovering  crime,  though  the  simplest,  was  the  most 
wonderful  that  I  ever  beheld.  The  present  instance  served  to  strengthen 
my  belief. 

In  every  bazaar  or  village  in  India  exists  a  tciss  man^  a  sort  of  half- 
priest,  half  conjurer,  who'  predicts  events,  tells  fortunes,  secures  families, 
and  discovers  crimes.  These  individuals  are  looked  upon  with  great  awe 
by  the  natives,  and  are  often  found  useful  in  the  last  instance  by  Euro- 
peans. 

On  the  arrival  of  the  magician,  he  made  the  men  form  circle  around 
him;  then  uttering  some  prayers ,  he  produced  a  small  bag  of  rice ,  and 
taking  out  a  handful,  gave  it  to  the  man  nearest  to  him,  and  desired  him 
to  chew  it,  while  he  continued  to  recite  certain  prayers  or  incantations. 
In  a  moment  or  two  he  held  a  plate  to  the  man,  and  desired  him  to  spit 
out  the  grain.  He  did  so;  it  was  well  chewed,  and  the  man  instantly  de- 
clared innocent.  Another  and  another  succeeded.  At  length ,  he  came  to 
one  of  my  favourite  servants  —  one  whom  I  never  suspected.  On  taking 
the  rice,  the  man  seemed  dreadfully  convulsed.  He  ground  his  teeth,  and 
worked  hard  to  masticate  it;  but  all  in  vain.  When  he  rendered  it  on  the 
plate,  the  grain  was  uncrushed,  unchewed.  The  M'zse  maw  instantly  pro- 
claimed him  to  be  the  thief:  upon  which,  the  servant  falling  on  his  knees, 

13 


—    98    — . 

confessed  the  crime  and  detailed  a  series  of  tliefts,  for  wliich  1  liad  sus- 
pected, and  even  punislied,  otliers.  By  iiis  own  sliowing,  he  must  have 
been  the  greatest  rascal,  the  greatest  scoundrel  alive.  He  had,  however, 
lived  long  with  me;  so  I  contented  myself  with  instantly  dismissing  him. 

In  the  evening  I  was  sitting  at  whist,  when  I  was  called  out  by  my 
sedar -bearer,  whom  I  before  mentioned  as  one  ofthe  most  faithful  creatures 
in  existence.  He  begged  of  me  instantly  to  set  out  for  Moorshedabad — a 
distance  of  about  ten  miles ,  in  order  to  see  a  cousin  of  mine ,  who  had 
sent  me  a  verbal  message  by  a  punee  (a  foot  -  runner) ,  requesting  my 
instant  attendance,  as  he  had  met  with  a  serious  accident.  When  I  asked 
to  see  the  servant,  I  found  he  was  already  gone;  and,  when  I  expressed 
my  astonishment  that  he  had  not  even  sent  me  a  chit  (note),  my  bearer 
assured  me  the  accident  had  deprived  him  of  the  power  of  writing;  but 
that  he  earnestly  solicited  me  to  lose  no  time  in  setting  out.  Of  course  I 
did  not  hesitate  ordering  my  palanquin  out  once  more.  Though  sadly  tired, 
I  started  off ,  after  making  an  apology  to  my  friends  for  thus  abruptly 
leaving  them.  On  my  arrival  at  Moorshedabad,  I  hurried  to  the  bungalow 
of  my  relative.  Here  I  found  the  world  fast  asleep;  and,  amongst  others, 
my  cousin.  He  was  perfectly  well,  and  slumbering  most  comfortably.  On 
being  awoke ,  he  positively  denied  having  sent  any  messenger  whatever 
to  me,  and  had  met  with  no  accident,  nor  was  ever  better  in  his  life. 

The  deception  thus  practised  on  me  staggered  me  so  much,  that,  in 
spite  of  every  remonstrance  ,  I  borrowed  a  relay  of  bearers ,  and  set  out 
on  my  instant  return  home. 

On  re-entering  my  quarter  I  folind  all  quiet  and  stiH  as  the  grave.  I 
aroused  some  of  the  sleeping  servants;  and,  having  obtained  a  light,  asked 
for  the  sedar-bearer ,  determined  to  make  an  example  of  the  rascal  for 
having  thus  played  off  a  practical  joke  on  me.  None  ofthe  others,  however, 
knew  where  he  was;  so  I  proceeded  to  my  bed-room,  resolved  to  punish 
him  in  the  morning.  As  I  passed  through  my  dressing-room,  I  perceived 
my  drawers  open;  I  examined  them,  and  found  that  a  suit  of  my  clothes 
had  been  extracted;  and,  by  a  turban  I  found  lying  near,  I  discovered  that 
they  had  been  taken  by  the  sedar.  That  a  man,  whom  I  had  hitherto  looked 
upon  as  incorruptibly  honest,  should  thus  act,  was  a  matter  of  the  greatest 
surprise.  That  one,  who  had  ever  been  considered  as  the  most  faithful  of 
my  servants,  should  thus,  suddenly  turn  thief,  annoyed,  and  disappointed 
me.  But ,  what  puzzled  me  more  than  all  was ,  that  my  people  declared 


_   99    -- 

he  had  been  seen  to  enter  this  room  early  in  the  evening,  but  most  po^ 
sitively  had  not  passed  out  again.  Tired  with  conjecture,  1  went  into  my 
sleeping  apartment. 

I  started  back  with  surprise.  Upon  the  bed  lay  a  figure,  the  very 
counterpart  of  myself!  My  heart  misgave  me  as  I  rushed  forward,  and 
tore  a  handkerchief  from  the  features  of  ray  other  self,  who  so  closely 
resembled  me ,  as  he  appeared  stretched  on  my  bed  ,  that  my  followers 
kept  staring  at  me  ,  and  at  the  figure  before  them  ,  as  if  doubtful  of  my 
identity. 

As  the  covering  was  removed ,  I  perceived  the  countenance  of  my 
sedar.  He  was  fast  asleep.  I  attempted  in  anger  to  awake  him.  He  was 
a  corpse.  Stone  dead  before  me -was  stretched  my  late  favourite  servant. 
On  a  close  examination  I  found  a  sharp-pointed  instrument  (probably  poi- 
soned) thrust  into  his  heart,  from  which  it  was  still  undrawn.  I  cuuld 
not  decipher  the  dreadful  mystery. 

Presently  one  of  my  kidmutgars  rushed  up.  He  held  a  leaf  in  his 
hand  on  which  some  characters  in  Hindoostanee  had  been  traced  (as  usual) 
with  a  pin.  I  sent  for  my  munchee  (interpreter)  ,  who  thus  translated 
them  : 

« Beloved  master !  a  plot  was  formed  this  day  by  the  man  whom  you 
this  day  discovered  to  be  a  thief,  to  murder  you.  It  was  too  well  planned 
for  you  to  escape.  I  was  too  solemnly  sworn  to  dare  to  reveal  it  to  you! 
Pardon  me  ,  beloved  master !  but  I  ventured  to  deceive  you.  I  took  your 
place:  and  have  felt  happy  to  die  for  you  !  May  the  God  of  the  white  man 
make  you  happy » ! 

The  riddle  was  solved.  The  delinquent ,  thinking  he  had  completed 
his  deed  of  blood  ,  had  fled.  I  provided  for  the  family  of  my  attached 
servant.  Not  one  of  his  fellows,  however,  seemed  astonished  at  the  act. 
They  appeared  to  look  upon  such  devotion  as  a  matter  of  course.  For  myself, 
I  never  can,  I  never  w^ill,  forget  the  fidelity  of  my  devoted  « sedar ».

78.  A  Priucess  Royal. 

I  remember  to  have  fallen  in  once  with  certain  American  captains, 
and  colonels,  and  men-at-arms,  in  a  small  place  on  the  Brazos  river,  a 
few  miles  north  of  Jose  Maria,  in  Texas.  I  had  paid  a  visit  to  this  place, 
near  which  a  dear  companion  of  my  youth  had  been  murdered.  We  were 
school- fellows,  and  for  five  years  we  had  been  brother  officers  in  the 
same  regiment.  He  went  to  \\i%  United  States  just  when  the  war  broke 
out  with  Mexico,  and  became  captain  of  a  company  of  Kentucky  rifle- 
men. A  few  months  after  the  battle  of  Vera  Cruz,  he  was  deputed  by 
the  officers  of  his  brigade  to  present  to  General  Taylor  —  who  was  on 
leave  of  absence  at  New- Orleans  —  a  gold  medal  as  token  of  their  re- 
spect. Choosing  the  nearest  way  from  the  camp  across  the  country,  he 
set  out  on  his  errand  with  a  guide  and  two  servants,  all  on  horseback, 
armed  to  the  teeth.  In  Jose  Maria,  my  poor  friend  unwisely  exhibited 
the  medal  to  a  crowd  of  respectable-looking  persons,  calling  themselves 
colonels,  majors,  and  captains,  who  seemed  to  take  great  pleasure  in 
studying  its  engravings.  He  did  not  then  remark  in  what  a  hurry  some 
of  those  colonels  were  to  start  before  him.  But  the  medal  has,  in  ten 
years,  never  more  been  heard  of,  and  my  old  comrade  and  two  of  his 
companions  were  found  shot  dead  in  a  ravine. 

It  was  near  this  place  that  I  also  fell  among  colonels.  There  was  one 
of  them  who  took  a  great  liking  to  my  horse,  when  he  saw  me  giving  it 
to  the  ostler.  He  tapped  it  repeatedly  on  the  neck,  declaring  it,  with  an 


—  101  — 

oath,  to  be  a  nice  hanimal  and  no  mistake  —  which  assertion  he  repeated 
afterwards  over  and  over  again  to  his  fellow-men  in  the  coffeeroom,  who, 
when  they  had  been  out  to  satisfy  their  curiosity,  agreed  with  him  upon 
the  matter,  «Now,  would'nt  that  be  a  nag  for  you,  major? »  he  said  to  a 
tall,  powerful  man,  with  a  rough  beprd  and  disgusting  features,  who  sat 
a  little  apart  from  the  rest,  "and  wore  a  large  grey  coat.  The  major  said 
nothing,  but  stalked  out  of  the  room,  soon  afterwards,  followed  by  the 
colonel.  The  others  had  again  taken  up  their  old  topic  of  conversation, 
and  were  talking  politics,  rather  vehemently  as  I  thought,  when  the 
waiter  —  a  German  —  came  up  to  me,  and  told  me  in  our  own  lan- 
guage, that  I  had  better  take  care,  as  those  two  ruffians  outside  had  set 
eyes  upon  my  horse,  and  would  be  sure  to  steal  it,  if  I  gave  them  the 
slightest  chance.  Annoyed  at  this  intelligence,  I  asked  my  countryman 
what  he  thought  it  would  be  best  for  me  to  do. 
"  «Why»,  said  he,  «you  have  fallen  in  with  a  bad  set,  and,  if  you 
want  to  keep  your  horse,  I  should  advise  you  to  escape  as  soon  as  pos- 
sible*. After  a  little  reflection,  I  resolved  to  start  at  once,  and  made  for 
the  stable.  There  I  found  the  colonel  again,  most  urgently  talking  to  the 
ostler,  who  only  looked  at  me  in  a  rather  impudent  manner,  when  I  told 
him  to  bring  out  my  horse,  and  paid  me  no  further  attention.  I  therefore 
began  to  bridle  for  myself. 

«I  say,  captain! »  said  the  colonel,  coming  up  to  me  after  a  while, 
and  tapping  me  on  the  shoulder. 

«Sir!»  «>■ 

«Come  on,  man!  don't  make  a  fool  of  yourself!  I  want  to  buy  that 
'ere  'osse,  captain!* 

«Do  you?» 

Thank  heaven'!  I  was  in  the  saddle  by  that  time. 

«D,o  I?  Am  I  the  man  to  be  put  out  of  my  way  by  one  of  these  'ere 
chawed  up  Germans? » 

He  laid  both  his  hands  upon  the  bridle  of  my  horse.  My  blood  gene- 
rally boils  at  an  insulting  word  against  my  countrymen,  especially  when 
I  am  far  from  home  in  foreign  lands.  In  a  trice,  the  stick  of  the  riding- 
whip  came  down  upon  the  colonel's  head,  whilst  the  horse  urged  to  a 
powerful  leap,  threw  him  ten  yards  away  upon  the  ground.  As  I  knew 
very  well  that,  according  to  the  customs  of  the  country,  this  was  a  re- 
volver affair  now,  and  as  I  had  no  wish  to  become  entangled  in  such  a 


—  102   —  - 

business,  I  did  not  wait  until  the  colonel  had  picked  himself  up,  but 
rode  forward  without  delay. 

I  was  stopped  by  the  waiter,  whom  1  heard  calling  after  me,  and 
who  was  out  of  breath  when  he  came  up  to  me  at  last.  The  honest  fellow 
gave  me  a  direction,  which  I  was  afterwards  glad  to  have  followed.  He 
said  that  the  colonel,  though  a  coward,  was'a  most  desperate  villain,  not 
at  all  likely  to  give  way  so  soon,  but  that  the  worst  of  the  whole  set  was 
that  tall  fellow,  the  major,  whom  he  suspected  to  have  gone  in  search  of 
some  of  his  companions.  «You  will  be  chased  by  a  couple  of  these  ro- 
gues", he  said,  «as  sure  as  I  am  a  Saxon!  Let  me  advise  you.  Follow 
your  way.  up  to  the  north  until  you  are  out  of  sight,  then  do  you  turn 
back  to  the  south,  as  far  as  Jose  Maria.  At  the  ravine  south-east  of  that 
place  turn  to  the  left,  and,  following  the  course  of  the  brook,  ride  for 
your  life.  Twenty  miles  up  the  stream  you  will  come  to  a  settlement, 
called  the  Wood  Creek.  Old  Delamotte  lives  there,  and  he's  the  man  for 
you  to  trust », 

I  offered  the  waiter  a  few  pieces  of  money,  but  he  would  not  take 
them,  then  a  hearty  shake  of  the  hand,  and  this  he  took  most  cordially. 

«Stop!»  he  said  when  I  had  already  set  spurs  to  my  horse.  He  lifted 
up  each  of  the  horse's  legs,  and  looked  carefully  at  the  shoeing.  «All 
right»,  he  said;  «I  thought  the  ostler  might  have  played  you  one  of  his 
tricks,  but  he  has  not  yet  had  time,  I  suppose.  Now,  go  a  head,  and 
don't  forget  the  Frenchman!  » 

I  darted  off. 

It  was  eleven  o'clock  in  the  morning.  I  had  to  make  twenty  miles 
to  the  ravine  which  my  countryman  had  pointed  out  to  me.  But  my  horse 
was  worthy  of  the  colonel's  admiration,  and,  in  spite  not  only  of  the 
round-about  way  I  had  taken  in  accordance  with  my  friend's  advice,  and 
halfan-hour's  delay  for  rest  at  Jose  Maria,  it  was  but  five  in  the  evening, 
when  I  reached  this  melancholy  spot. 

I  stoppe<i  and  looked  about  me.  The  surrounding  country  was  all  barren 
and  desolate ,  the  soil  sterile.  There  was  a  wooden  cross  erected  on  the 
spot  of  the  murder ,  and  beneath  it  lay  the  mortal  remains  of  the  man 
whom  I  had  known  in  the  full  glow  and  joy  of  youth, 

A  strange  feeling  made  me  linger  in  that  place.  The  little  rivulet 
smoothly  gliding  eastward  showed  me  the  way  I  was  to  go.  I  could  follow 
its  course  with  my  eyes  to  a  far  distant  forest,  the  high  grass  of  the  prairie 


—  103  — 

having  burnt  a  track  down  ,  as  it  always  does  at  this  time  of  the  year. 
Yet  still  I  lingered. 

The  horse  began  to  neigh  softly,  and  to  prick  up  his  ears.  He  was 
familiar  with  these  prairies ,  as  1  had  bought  him  but  a  few  months  ago 
at  Little  Rock,  in  Arkansas.  There  was  something  the  matter. 

I  listened,  but  heard  absolutely  nothing.  I  alighted,  and,  pressing  my 
ear  to  the  ground,  listened  again.  The  earth  trembled  faintly  with  the 
tread  of  horses  yet  at  a  long  distance;  but,  when  I  mounted  again,  I  could 
hear  .the  sound.  It  was  rapidly  approaching  from  the  direction  of  Jose 
Maria,  and,  although  the  woods  on  that  side  of  me  prevented  me  from 
seeing  anything,  I  had  but  little  doubt  who  were  the  horsemen.  Now, 
colonels,  majors,  captains,  let  us  see  what  can  be  done  !  My  horse  gave 
such  a  sudden  and  vigorous  jump,  when  I  merely  touched  him  with  my 
whip,  that  I  was  almost  thrown  from  my  seat.  I  lost  my  cap,  and  a  gust 
of  wind  threw  it  against  that  very  mound  by  which  I  had  been  bound  to 
the  ravine.  To  pick  it  up  would  have  been  waste  of  time;  and,  as  I  wished 
to  be  out  of  sight  before  my  pursuers  had  set  foot  upon  the  prairie  ,  I 
left  it  and  sped  away,  taking  as  straight  a  line  as  possible  in  the  direction 
of  the  distant  forest,  to  avoid  the  windings  of  the  little  brook,  yet  without 
losing  sight  of  it. 

In  the  brave  horse  there  was  no  slackening  of  pace;  there  was  no 
stumbling.  I  turned  round  three  or  four  times  during  my  rapid  course, 
but,  except  a  long  thin  cloud  of  dust  and  ashes,  raised  by  myself,  1  saw 
nothing  whatever.  In  an  hour  or  so,  the  forest  was  before  me,  and  then, 
reining  up  a  little,  I  again  made  for  the  brook. 

I  had  traced  its  windings  for  about  another  hour,  when  I  arrived  at 
a  cleared  space  in  the  wood,  and  got  sight  of  a  block-house. 

«Q,ui  va  la?»  asked  a  deep  voice.  • 

«Un  ami!»  was  the  answer. 

There  were  two  men  near  the  house,  one  with  grey  hair  and  weather- 
beaten,  features,  the  other  in  the  prime  of  youth,  both  Frenchmen.  The 
old  man  looked,  with  some  astonishment,  at  my  panting  horse  covered 
with  foam,  at  his  dilated  nostrils  and  quick  beating  flanks. 

«Why,  it  seems  you  are  in  ahurry»,  he  said.  In  a  few  words  I  ex- 
plained the  motives  of  my  visit,  and  told  him  my  adventures  at  Santa 
Madre;  not  forgetting  to  report  the  advice  of  the  German  waiter  at  the 
coffee-house,  that  I  ishould  trust  in  him  for  help. 


-  404  — 

He  listened  eagerly  to  my  narrative,  and  when  I  gave  him  a  minute 
description  of  the  colonel  and  the  major,  his  attention  grew  to  be  intense. 

((Again  those  two  scoundrels! «  he  said.  «Well,  man,  step  into  the 
house.  Never  mind  the  horse,  the  lad  will  rub  him  dry.  We  have  a  few 
hours  before  us  yet.  They  know  by  this  time  where  you  are,  and  will 
consider  twice  before  they  call  here;  though  we  are  quite  sure  to  hear 
of  them  at  nightfall*. 

I  expressed  regret  for  the  trouble  I  was  bringing^  on  him;  but  he 
only  laughed  and  replied:  « Never  mind,  we  are  their  match)). 

((But  we  are  only  three,  and  after  all  we  don't  know  how  many 
ruffians  that  tall  fellow  may  bring  with  him». 

«Let  him  bring  a  score,  we  are  their  match,  I  tell  you!  Do  you  ac- 
count the  Princess  Royal  nobody?* 

« The  what?* 

«The  Princess  Royal:  la  Princesse  Royale!»  he  laughed  again. 
«Don't  stare  at  me,  you'll  see  her  by-and-by»- 

The  block-house  had  a  very  durable  appearance;  it  was  two  stories 
high,  and  the  upper  room  was  neatly  furnished.  On  the  wall  I  observed 
a  portrait  of  General  Moreau.  My  host  was  no  friend  of  the  Emperor  of 
the  Frencli:  the  present  Emperor  he  mentioned  only  once  during  our 
conversation,  and  I  had  better  not  say  what  he  said. 

He  lighted  a  candle  and  began  to  block  the  windows  up,  whilst  I  was 
eating  and  drinking  what  he  had  placed  ou  the  table.  The  lad  made  all 
safe  on  the  ground  floor,  and  secured  the  door. 

«Now,  we  are  all  right!*  said  the  old  man,  taking  his  seat  at  the 
table,  and  mixing  rum  and  water  in  a  large  bowl. 

«Au  triomphe  de  la  bonne  cause! »  he  said,  touching  glasses  with  me. 

«But  I  don't  see  any  ar!n?»,  I  presently  suggested. 

«Arms?  I  have  plenty  of  that  stuff.  How  do  you  think  a  man  could 
get  on  in  these  woods  without  arms?  But  we  shan't  want  them  to-night*. 
Again  he  laughed.  «We  have  the  Princess  Royal!* 

He  removed  the  candle  with  the  other  things  from  the  table,  and 
went  out  of  the  room. 

The  door  was  opened  again  about  five  minutes  afterwards.  I  heard 
the  crack  of  a  whip.  I  saw  a  rapid  flash  before  my  eyes;  and,  with  a 
mighty  bound,  that  made  my  very  blood  run  cold,  a  large  jaguar  leaped 
in  alighting  with  a  heavy  pounce  upon  the  table. 


—  105  — 

«La  princesse  royale!«  announced  my  host.  I  do  not  know  exactly 
what  figure  I  may  have  presented  at  that  moment;  but  I  should  not 
wonder,  if  anybody  were  to  tell  me  that  I  looked  like  a  craven. 

«Don't  be  afraid  of  her»,  said  the  laughing  Frenchman,  when  he 
saw  me  still  as  a  mouse,  scarcely  venturing  to  turn  my  looks  to  her 
bright  cruel  eyes.  «She  is  as  decent  as  a  cat,  when  I  am  by.  Caress 
her,  she  likes  to  be  fondled,  it's  the  weak  side  of  the  sex,  youknow». 

I  touched  her  delicate  fur  but  slightly  with  my  hand,  stroking  it 
softly  down  her  strong  and  beautiful  back,  the  right  way  of  the  fur,  you 
may  be  sure. 

She  bent  her  powerful  and  elastic  limbs  under  my  frail  hand,  and 
fanning  the  air  with  her  curved  tail,  seemed  to  encourage  me  to  bestow 
more  caresses. 

«Well,  how  do  you  like  the  Princess?*  asked  my  host. 

«Why,  she  is  indeed  handsome,  and  I  have  seen  none  in  the  old 
world  more  majestic^. 

«Take  her  down-stairs,  George*,  he  said  to  the  lad,  handing  the 
whip  over  to  him,  «and  keep  a  look  out  yourself;  but  mind  you  don't 
give  her  any  supper.  She  shall  help  herself  to-night» . 

He  placed  the  candle  and  our  glasses  again  upon  the  table,  and  began 
to  sip  his  grog  quite  leisurely. 

«By  heavens,  man»,  I  said,  after  a  pause,  «it  cannot  be  your  real 
purpose  to  set  the  tiger  on  those  people? » 

«Eh,  parbleu!»  replied  he,  «and  why  not?  What  else  do  they  deserve? 
Are  they  not  also  tigers?  You  don't  know  thera,  as  I  do!  The  tall  rascal 
is  a  convicted  felon,  and  ought  to  have  been  hanged  two  years  ago  at 
San  Francisco.  He  contrived  an  escape  and  fled  to  Kansas.  As  to  the 
other  rogue,  there  is  hardly  a  crime  he  has  not  stained  his  hands  with. 
Make  your  mind  easy  about  that«. 

A  sudden  thought  came  into  my  mind,  and  I  asked  him,  whether  he 
knew  anything  about  that  murder  of  my  friend  ten  years  ago  in  the  ravine 
near  Jose  Maria? 

No,  he  knew  nothing  about  that.  It  was  before  his  time;  only  he 
should  not  wonder,  if  the  major  had  a  hand  in  it;  it  looked  very  like  him. 

We  were  interrupted  by  a  loud  knocking  at  the  door.  The  lad  came 
in  soon  afterwards,  telling  us  that  he  could  descry  five  of  them,  all  on 
horseback. 

li 


—  106  — 

The  old  raan  rose,  and  moving  one  of  the  mattresses  a  little  aside, 
he  loolied  cautiously  through  the  window.  It  was  about  nine  o'  clock, 
and  the  darkness  began  to  set  in  with  the  rapidity,  peculiar  to  southern 
climates. 

The  knocks  were  repeated  more  vehemently  accompanied  now  with 
a  loud  summons  to  open  the  door. 

«Here  they  are,  sure  enough! »  said  the  old  man. 

«I  wonder  why  this  major  does  not  go  to  Kansas:  he  is  the  very  man 
for  Kansas  politics ». 

«If  you  don't  open  now,  you  French  dog»,  said  a  coarse  voice, 
« we'll  break  the  door!» 

The  eyes  of  the  old  man  flashed  fire,  but  he  spoke  never  a  word. 

«You  know  me,  Delamotte»,  said  another  voice,  which  1  had  heard 
before.  «You  know  colonel  Brown.  But  though  we'ave  to  settle  an  old 
account.  I  'ave  no  business  with  you  this  time:  it's  the  stranger  I  want, 
he  has  stolen  a  orse;  give  him  up  to  us,  and  we'll  be  off  in  a  minute». 

«No  use  talking  to  that  old  miser »,  said  the  former  voice,  with  an 
oath.  «Come  on,  boys,  break  that  door  in,  and  end  it! » 

He  seemed  to  suit  the  action  to  the  word,  for  a  tremendous  crash 
came. 

«En  avaut!»  said  the  old  man  to  the  lad,  and  they  both  went  down- 
stairs. 

I  rose  and  paced  up  and  down  the  room  with  rapid  steps.  Something 
terrible,  awful  was  going  on. 

The  whole  block- house  shook  and  trembled  with  the  violent  kicks 
and  blows  which  were  dealt  at  the  door;  but  nevertheless  I  could  hear 
distinctly  w^hen  the  iron  bar  was  removed  from  it,  and  then  I  felt  as  if 
all  my  blood  were  rushing  suddenly  to  my  heart,  leaving  not  one  single 
drop  in  any  limb  of  my  whole  body. 

A  roar,  not  at  all  like  those  you  may  hear  in  the  Zoological  Gardens, 
Regent's  Park,  at  feeding- time  —  but  a  hundred  times  wilder,  sharper, 
more  piercing,  more  furious:  then  human  cries  of  horror  and  despair  — 
the  trampling  of  flying  horses  —  the  quick  report  of  fire-arms  —  then 
again  the  roar,  but  this  time  much  louder,  more  savage,  more  ferocious, 
more  horrible  -r-  then  a  heavy  fall  and  a  confused  noise  of  grinding  of 
teetii  —  then  notliing  more,  because  I  stopped  my  t^ars  with  hiith  my 
hands. 


—  107  — 

When  I  turned  round,  my  host  sat  at  the  table  again,  sipping  his 
grog,  as  if  nothing  had  happened. 

«Iam  afraid»,  he  said  after  a  while,  « the  Princess  has  been  wounded. 
I  have  never  heard  her  roaring  in  that  way.  Well,  we  must  see  after  this 
to-morrow.  It  would  be  a  dangerous  job  for  any  man  to  go  near  her  to- 
night! » 

Next  morning,  I  stood  by  his  side,  when  he  opened  the  door.  My 
first  glance  fell  upon  the  tiger  cowering  in  a  thick  brown- red  pool.  She 
was  licking  at  a  red  spot  upon  her  left  flank,  which  seemed  to  have  bled 
profusely;  but  with  both  her  powerful  fore-paws  she  clung  to  a  deformed 
and  shapeless  mass  which  bore  no  likeness  to  anything  1  had  ever  seen. 
The  corpse  of  a  horse,  frightfully  mutilated,  lay  close  by,  and  the  whole 
ground  was  strewn  with  fragments  of  a  horrible  appearance.  My  host 
having  examined  them  all  with  intense  curiosity,  cracked  his  whip,  and 
moved  straight  towards  the  tiger. 

A  hollow  menacing  roar  warned  him  off;  the  savage  creature  showed 
her  formidable  range  of  long  and  powerful  teeth,  and  hast  lost  all  signs 
of  her  old  tameness.  «She  is  thirsty  for  more  blood;  the  Princess  Royal 
is«,  said  the  Frenchman,  «that's  nature,  you  know.  She  can't  help  it, 
I  suppose,  and  as  I  should  be  grieved  to  kill  her,  we  must  wait  till  she 
comes  round  again ». 

We  had  to  wait  long.  After  three  days  the  old  man  himself  beginning 
to  doubt  whether  she  ever  would  come  round  again,  was  forced  to  kill 
her  after  all. 

When  we  were  thus  enabled  to  examine  at  leisure  that  horrible  battle- 
field, he  drew  my  attention  to  some  remnants  of  a  coat  in  which  the 
grey  colour  was  still  to  be  distinguished. 

«He  has  had  his  reward! »  said  the  old  man,   «though  it  costs  me. 
dear.  Better  than  all  those  majors  was  my  poor  old  Princess  Royal».

79.   Anecdote  of  Rev  John  Wesley, 

Dr.  Dudley  was  one  evening  taking  tea  with  that  emiDent  artist,  BIr. 
Culy,  when  he  asked  him  whether  he  had  seen  his  gallery  of  busts.  Mr. 
Dudley  answering  in  the  negative,  and  expressing  a  wish  to  be  gratified 
with  a  sight  of  it,  Mr.  Culy  conducted  him  thither,  and  after  admiring 
the  busts  of  the  several  great  men  of  the  day,  he  came  to  one  which 
particularly  attracted  his  notice,  and  on  inquiry  found  it  was  the  likeness 
of  the  Rev.  John  Wesley.  «Thisbust»,  said  Mr.  Culy,  «struck  Lord 
Shelbourne  in  the  same  manner  it  does  you,  and  there  is  a  remarkable 
fact  connected  with  it,  which ,  as  I  know  you  are  fond  of  anecdote,  I 
will  relate  to  you  precisely  in  the  same  manner  and  words  that  I  did  to 
him».  On  returning  to  the  parlour,  Mr.  Culy  commenced  accordingly:  uI 
am  a  very  old  man;  you  must  excuse  my  little  failings,  and,  as  I  before 
observed,  hear  it  in  the  very  words  I  repeated  it  to  his  Lordship.  «My 
Lord)),  said  I,  «perhapsyou  have  heard  of  John  Wesley,  the  founder  of 
the  Methodists?*  «0h,  yes»,  he  replied;  «he—  that  race  of  fanatics/ y> 
«Well,  my  Lord;  Mr.  Wesley  had  often  been  urged  to  have  his  picture 
taken,  but  he  always  refused,  alleging  as  a  reason  that  he  thought  it 
nothing  but  vanity;  indeed,  so  frequently  had  he  been  pressed  on  this 
point  that  his  friends  were  reluctantly  compelled  to  give  up  the  idea.  One 


—   109  — 

day  he  called  on  me  on  the  business  of  our  church.  I  began  the  old  sub 
ject  of  entreating  him  to  allow  me  to  take  off  his  likeness.  «Well»,  said 
I,  "knowing  you  value  money  for  the  means  of  doing  good,  if  you  will 
grant  my  request,  I  will  engage  to  give  you  ten  guineas  for  the  first  ten 
minutes  that  you  sit,  and  for  every  minute  that  exceeds  that  time  you 
shall  receive  a  guinea*.  «What»,  said  Mr.  Wesley,  udo  lunterstand  you 
aright,  that  you  will  give  me  ten  guineas  for  having  my  picture  taken! 
Well,  I  agree  to  it».  He  then  stripped  off  his  coat,  and  lay  on  the  sofa, 
and  in  eight  minutes  I  had  the  most  perfect  bust  I  had  ever  taken.  He 
then  washed  his  face,  and  1  counted  to  him  ten  guineas  into  his  hand. 
«Well»,  said  he,  turning  to  his  companion,  «I  never  till  now  earned 
money  so  speedily;  but  what  shall  wedowithit?»  They  then  wished  me 
a  good  morning,  and  proceeded  over  Westminster  Bridge.  The  first  object 
that  presented  itself  to  their  view  was  a  poor  woman  crying  bitterly,  with 
three  children  hanging  round  her,  each  sobbing,  though  apparently  too 
young  to  understand  their  mother's  grief.  On  inquiring  the  cause  of  her 
distress,  Mr.  Wesley  learned  that  the  creditors  of  her  husband  were  drag- 
ging him  to  prison,  after  having  sold  their  effects  which  were  inadequate 
to  pay  the  debt  by  eighteen  shillings,  which  the  creditors  declared  should 
be  paid.  One  guinea  made  her  happy!  They  then  proceeded  on,  followed 
by  the  blessings  of  the  now  happy  mother.  On  Mr.  Wesley's  inquiring  of 
Mr.  Barton,  his  friend,  where  their  charity  was  most  needed,  he  replied 
he  knew  of  no  place  where  his  money  would  be  more  acceptable  than  in 
Giltspur-street  Compter.  They  accordingly  repaired  thither,  and  on  asking 
the  turnkey  to  point  out  the  most  miserable  object  under  his  care,  he 
answered,  if  they  were  come  in  search  of  poverty,  they  need  not  go  far. 
The  first  ward  they  entered  they  were  struck  with  the  appearance  of  a 
poor  wretcli  who  was  greedily  eating  some  potato  skins.  On  being  ques- 
tioned, he  inform*^ d  them  that  he  had  been  in  that  situation,  supported 
by  the  casual  alms  of  compassionate  strangers,  for  several  months,  with- 
out any  hope  of  release,  and  that  he  was  confined  for  the  debt  of  half  a 
guinea.  On  hearing  this,  Mr.  Wesley  gave  him  a  guinea,  which  he  received 
with  the  utmost  gratitude;  and  he  had  the  pleasure  of  seeing  him  liber- 
ated with  half  a  guinea  in  his  pocket.  The  poor  man,  on  leaving  his 
place  of  confinement,  said:  « Gentlemen,  as  you  come  here  in  search  of 
poverty,  pray  go  up  stairs,  ifitbe  nottoolate».  They  instantly  proceeded 
thither,  and  beheld  a  sight  which  called  forth  all  their  compassion.  On 


—  110  — 

a  low  stool,  with  his  back  towards  them,  sat  a  man,  or  rather  a  skeleton, 
for  he  was  literally  nothing  hut  skin  and  hone;  his  hand  supported  his 
head,  and  his  eyes  seemed  to  be  riveted  to  the  opposite  corner  of  the 
chamber,  where  lay  stretched  out  on  a  pallet  of  straw,  a  young  woman, 
in  the  last  stage  of  consumption,  apparently  lifeless,  with  an  infant  by 
her  side,  which  was  quite  dead.  Mr.  Wesley  immediately  sent  for  med- 
ical assistance;  but  it  was  too  late  for  the  unfortunate  female,  who 
expired  a  few  hours  afterwards  from  starvation,  as  the  doctor  declared. 
You  may  imagine,  my  Lord,  that  the  remaining  eight  guineas  would 
not  go  far  in  aiding  such  distress  as  this.  No  expense  was  spared  for  the 
relief  of  the  now  only  surviving  sufferer.  But  so  extreme  was  the  weak- 
ness to  which  he  was  reduced,  that  six  weeks  elapsed  before  he  could 
speak  sufficiently  to  relate  his  own  history.  It  appeard  that  he  had  been 
a  reputable  merchant,  and  had  married  a  beautiful  young  lady,  eminently 
accomplished,  whom  he  almost  idolized.  They  lived  happily  together  for 
some  time,  until,  by  failure  of  a  speculation  in  which  this  whole  pro- 
perty was  embarked,  he  was  completely  ruined.  No  sooner  did  he  become 
acquainted  with  his  misfortune  than  he  called  all  his  creditors  together, 
and  laid  before  them  the  state  of  his  affairs,  showing  them  his  books 
which  were  in  the  most  perfect  order.  They  all  willingly  signed  the  di- 
vidend, except  the  lawyer  who  owed  his  rise  in  the  world  to  this  mer- 
chant: the  sura  was  two  hundred  and  fifty  pounds,  for  which  he  obstinately 
declared  he  should  be  sent  to  jail.  It  was  in  vain  the  creditors  urged  him 
to  pity  his  forlorn  condition,  and  to  consider  his  great  respectability:  that 
feeling  was  a  stranger  to  his  breast,  and,  in  spite  of  all  their  remon- 
strances, he  was  hurried  away  to  prison,  followed  by  his  weeping  wife. 
As  she  was  very  accomplished,  she  continued  to  maintain  herself  by  the 
use  of  her  pencil  in  painting  small  ornaments  on  cards;  and  thus  they 
managed  to  put  a  little  aside  for  the  time  of  her  confinement.  But  so  long 
an  illness  succeeded  this  event,  that  shew^as  completely  incapacitated  from 
exerting  herself  for  their  subsistence,  and  their  scanty  savings  were  soon 
expended  by  procuring  the  necessaries  which  her  situation  then  required. 
They  were  driven  to  pawn  their  clothes,  and  their  resources  failing,  they 
found  themselves  at  last  reduced  to  absolute  starvation.  The  poor  infant 
had  just  expired  from  want,  and  the  hapless  mother  was  about  to  follow 
it  to  the  grave  when  Mr.  Wesley  and  his  friend  entered;  and,  as  I  before 
said,  the  husband  was  so  reduced  from  the  same  cause,  that,  without  the 


—  m  — 

utmost  care,  he  must  have  fallen  a  sacrifice;  and  as  Mr.  Wesley,  who 
was  not  for  doing  things  by  halves,  had  acquainted  himself  with  this 
case  of  extreme  misery,  he  went  to  the  creditors  and  informed  them  of 
it.  They  were  beyond  measure  astonished  to  learn  what  he  had  to  name 
to  them;  for  so  long  a  time  had  elapsed  without  hearing  anything  of  the 
merchant,  or  his  family,  that  some  supposed  him  to  be  dead,  and  others 
that  he  had  left  the  country.  Among  the  rest  he  called  on  the  lawyer, 
and  painted  to  him,  in  the  most  glowing  colours,  the  wretchedness  he 
had  beheld,  and  which  he  (the  lawyer)  had  been  instrumental  in  causing; 
but  even  this  could  not  move  him  to  compassion.  He  declared  the  mer- 
chant should  not  leave  the  prison  without  paying  him  every  farthing!  Mr. 
Wesley  repeated  his  visit  to  the  other  creditors  who,  considering  the 
case  of  the  sufferer,  agreed  to  raise  the  sum  and  release  him.  Some  gave 
one  hundred  pounds,  others  two  hundred  pounds,  and  another  three 
hundred  pounds.  The  affairs  of  the  merchant  took  a  different  turn  :  God 
seemed  to  prosper  him,  and  in  the  second  year  he  called  his  creditors 
together,  thanked  them  for  their  kindness,  and  paid  the  sum  so  gener- 
ously obtained.  Success  continuing  to  attend  him,  he  was  enabled  to 
pay  all  his  debts,  and  afterwards  realized  considerable  property.  His  af- 
flictions made  such  a  deep  impression  upon  his  mind,  that  he  determined 
to  remove  the  possibility  of  others  suffering  from  the  same  cause,  and  for 
this  purpose  advanced  a  considerable  sum  as  a  foundation  fund  for  the 
relief  o"f  small  debtors.  And  the  very  first  person  who  partook  of  the  same 
was  ihe  inexorable  lawyer/ » 

This  remarkable  fact  so  entirely  convinced  Lord  Shelbourne  of  the 
mistaken  opinion  he  had  formed  of  Mr.  Wesley,  that  he  immediately  or- 
dered a  dozen  of  busts  to  embellish  the  grounds  of  his  beautiful  residence.

80.  Nelson. 


This  darling  hero  of  his  country,  when  eighteen  years  of  age,  was 
obliged  to  return  from  sea,  on  account  of  the  bad  state  of  his  health,  and 
leave  his  brother  officers,  then,  like  himself,  beginning  their  career,  in 
the  full  enjoyment  of  health  and  hope.  This  depressed  his  spirit  very 
much;  and  long  afterwards,  when  the  fame  of  Nelson  was  known  as  that 
of  England  itself,  he  spoke  of  the  fe&lings,  which  he  at  that  time  endu- 
red. «I  felt  impressed)),  said  he,  «thcit  I  should  never  rise  in  my  pro- 
fession. My  mind  was  staggered  with  a  view  of  the  difficulties  which  I 
had  to  surmount,  and  the  little  interest  I  possessed.  I  could  discover  no 
means  of  reaching  the  object  of  my  ambition.  After  a  long  and  gloomy 
reverie,  in  which  I  almost  wished  myself  over  board,  a  sudden  glow  of 
patriotism  was  kindled  within  me,  and  presented  my  King  and  country 
as  my  patrons»  —  «Well  then»,I  exclaimed:  «Iwill  be  a  hero;  and  con- 
fiding in  Providence,  I  will  brave  every  danger».  From  that  hour,  as  he 
often  declared  to  captain  Hardy,  a  radiant  orb  was  suspended  before  his 
mind's  eye,  which  urged  him  on  to  renown;  and  he  spoke  of  these  aspi- 
rations of  his  youth,  as  if  they  had  in  them  a  character  of  divinity,  as 
if  —  «the  light  which  led  him  on,  was  light  from  Heaven».  Although 
the  promotion  of  Nelson  was  as  rapid  as  it  could  be,  yet  it  was  much  too 
slow  fur  his  ardent  ambition.  He  was  never  happy  for  a  moment,  when 
not  on  actual  service.  In  a  letter  to  the  Lords  of  the  Admiralty,  in  1792, 
requesting  a  ship  he  adds:  «if  your  Lordships  will  only  be  pleased  to 
appoint  me  to  a  cockle  boai^  I  shall  feel  grateful ». 

After  the  sieges  of  Calvi  and  Bastia,  in  17  93,  in  which  Nelson  dis- 
played military  talents  which  would  not  have  disgraced  a  general,  his 
services,  by  an  unpardonable  omission,  were  altogether  overlooked;  his 
name  did  not  even  appear  in  the  list  of  wounded,  although  he  had  lost 
an  eye.  «One  hundred  and  ten  days»,  said  he:  c< I  have  been  actually 
engaged  at  sea  and  on  shore  against  the  enemy;  three  actions  against 


—  Ii3  — 

sliips,  two  against  Bastia  in  my  own  ship,  four  boat  actions,  two  villages 
taken,  and  twelve  sail  of  vessels  taken.  I  do  not  know  tliat  any  one  lias 
,  done  more;  I  have  had  the  comfort  to  be  always  applauded  by  my  own 
commander  in  chief,  but  never  to  be  rewarded;  and,  what  is  more  mort- 
ifying, for  service  in  which  I  have  been  wounded,  others  have  been 
praised,  who,  at  the  same  time,  were  actually  in  bed,  far  from  the  scene 
of  action.  They  have  not  done  me  justice;  but  never  mind  —  I'll  have  a 
gazette  of  my  own».  How  amply  was  this  second  sight  of  glory  realized! 

Previous  to  his  attack  on  Teneriife,  after  having  failed  in  an  attempt 
to  take  it  before,  he  wrote  to  his  commander  in  chief;  «This  night  I 
command  the  whole  force  destined  to  land  under  the  batteries  of  the 
town;  and  to-morrow  my  head  will  probably  be  crowned  either  with  lau- 
rel or  cypress*.  Perfectly  aware  how  desperate  a  service  this  was  likely 
to  prove,  he  called  his  son  in-law,  Lieutenant  Nisbet,  into  his  cabin,  that 
he  might  assist  in  arranging  and  burning  his  mother's  letters.  Perceiving 
that  the  young  man  was  armed,  he  earnestly  begged  him  to  remain  be- 
hind. —  «Should  we  both  fall,  Josiah»,  said  he,  «what  will  become  of 
your  poor  mother?  The  care  of  the  Theseus  falls  to  you;  stay,  therefore, 
and  take  care  of  her».  Nisbet  replied:  «Sir,  the  ship  must  take  care  of 
herself.  I  will  go  with  you  to-night,  if  I  never  go  again". 

The  boats  landed  amidst  powerful  discharges  of  forty  or  fifty  pieces 
of  cannon,  with  musketry  from  one  end  of  the  town  to  the  other.  Nelson, 
when  in  the  act  of  stepping  out  of  the  boat,  received  a  shot  through  the 
right  elbow,  and  fell;  Nisbet,  who  was  close  to  him,  placed  him  at  the 
bottom  of  the  boat.  He  then  examined  the  wound,  and  taking  a  silk 
handkerchief  from  his  neck,  bound  it  above  the  lacerated  vessels,  which 
saved  his  life.  One  of  the  bargemen  tore  his  shirt  into  shreds,  and  made 
a  sling  for  the  wounded  arm;  Nisbet  took  one  of  the  oars,  and  collecting 
four  or  five  seamen,  rowed  back  towards  the  vessel.  Nelson  desired  to 
be  raised  up,  that  he  «might  look  a  httle  about  hiin»;  when  a  general 
shriek  was  heard  from  the  Fux,  which  had  received  a  shot  under  water, 
and  gone  down.  Ninety  seven  men  sank  with  her,  and  eighty  three  were 
saved,  many  by  Nelson  himself,  whose  exertions  on  this  occasion  mate- 
rially increased  the  pain  and  danger  of  the  wound.  The  first  ship  which 
the  boat  could  reach,  happened  to  be  the  Seahorse;  but  nolhing  could 
induce  him  to  go  on  board,  though  he  was  assured  that  the  attempt  to 
row  to  another  ship  might  be  at  the  risk  of  his  life.  <l  had  rather  suffer

death»,  said  he,  «tlian  alarm  Mrs.  Freemantle,  by  letting  her  see  me  in 
this  state,  when  I  can  give  her  no  tidings  of  her  husband ».  He  was  then 
rowed  alongside  the  Theseus,  and  peremptorily  refused  all  assistance  in 
getting  on  board:  so  impatient  was  he  that  the  boat  should  return,  in 
hopes  of  saving  a  few  more  men  from  the  Fox.  He  desired  to  have  only 
a  single  rope  thrown  over  the  side,  Avhich  he  twisted  round  his  left  hand. 
«Let  me  alone»!  said  he,  «1  have  yet  my  legs  left,  and  one  arm.  Tell  the 
surgeon  to  get  his  instruments;  I  know  I  must  lose  my  right  arm,  so  the 
sooner  it  is  off  the  better*.  . 

It  was  Nelson's  practice  during  a  cruise ,  whenever  circumstances 
would  permit ,  to  have  his  captains  on  board ,  and  fully  explain  to  them 
his  plans.  He  had  done  this  previous  to  the  battle  of  the  Nile;  and  when 
Capt.  Berry  ,  on  comprehending  the  design  of  doubling  on  the  enemy's 
ships,  exclaimed  with  transport:  «If  we  succeed,  what  will  the  world 
say?»  —  There  is  no  if  in  the  case» ,  replied  Nelson:  «that  we  shall 
succeed  is  certain:  who  may  live  to  tell  the  story  is  a  very  different 
question ». 

In  this  battle  the  French  had  a  superiority  over  the  British  of  one 
hundred  and  eighty  four  guns ,  and  three  thousand  and  eighty  two  men; 
yet  they  lost  five  sail  taken ,  three  sail  burnt ,  one  driven  on  shore  and 
fired,  and  three  frigates.  «A  victory »,  said  the  gallant  Nelson,  «is  not  a 
word  strong  enough  for  such  an  achievement:  it  should  be  called  a  con- 
quest)). From  Bonaparte  it  drew  this  acknowledgement:  "The  destinies 
have  wished  to  prove  by  this  event ,  as  by  all  others ,  that  if  they  have 
given  us  a  preponderance  on  the  Continent ,  Ihey  have  given  the  empire 
of  the  sea  to  our  rivals ». 

Of  all  the  engagements  in  which  Nelson  had  been  engaged ,  that  oil 
Copenhagen  was  said  to  have  been  the  most  terrible;  Avhen  it  Avas  termi- 
nated, and  Nelson  had  landed ,  some  difficulty  occurred  in  adjusting  the 
duration  of  the  armistice.  Nelson  required  sixteen  Aveeks ,  giving  like  a 
seaman  the  true  reason,  that  he  might  have  time  to  act  against  the  Russian 
fleet  and  return.  This  not  being  acceded  to,  a  hint  Avas  throAvn  out  by 
one  of  the  Danish  commissioners  of  the  renewal  of  hostilities.  «Renew 
hostilities"  !  said  he  to  one  of  his  friends,  for  he  understood  French 
enough  to  comjirehend  what  was  said,  though  not  to  answer  it  in  the  same 
language:  «Tell  liim  we  are  ready  at  a  moment!  Ready  to  bombard  this 
\ei'^j  Uigul))  !

81.  The  Loss  of  the  Royal  George. 

The  Royal  George  was  a  three-decker ,  a  ship  of  one  hundred  and 
twenty  guns  ,  24  and  31  pounders  ,  with  a  crew  of  one  thousand  men. 
The  length  of  her  gun-deck  was  210  feet,  the  breadth  56;  her  main- 
mast was  124  feet  high,  fore-mast  112,  mizen-mast  112,  and  the  main 
yard  one  hundred  and  six  feet  long.  She  measured  sixty-six  feet  from  the 
kelson  to  the  taffrail;  and  being  a  flag-ship  her  lanterns  were  so  big,  that 
the  men  used  to  go  into  them  to  clean  them. 

In  August,  1782,  the  Royal  George  had  come  to  Spithead.  She  was 
in  a  very  complete  state,  with  hardly  any  leakage,  so  that  there  was  no 
occasion  for  the  pumps  to  be  touched  oftener  than  once  in  every  three  or 
four  days.  By  the  i9th  of  August  she  had  got  six  months'  provision  on 
hoard ,  and  also  many  tons  of  shot.  The  ship  had  her  gallants  up,  the 
blue  flag  of  Admiral  Kempenfeldt  was  flying  at  the  raizen,  and  the  ensign 


—  116  — 

was  hoisted  on  the  eusigii-staff,  -  and  she  was  in  about  two  days  to  have 
sailed  to  join  the  grand  fleet  in  the  Mediterranean.  It  was  ascertained  that 
the  water-cock  must  be  taken  out,  and  a  new  one  put  in.  The  water-cock 
is  something  like  the  tap  of  a  barrel ,  —  it  is  in  the  hold  of  the  ship  on 
the  starboard  side,  and  at  that  part  of  the  ship  called  the  well.  By  turning 
a  thing  which  is  inside  the  ship,  the  sea-water  is  let  into  a  cistern  in  the 
hold  ,  and  it  is  from  that  pumped  up  to  wash  the  dock.  In  some  ships 
the  water  is  drawn  up  the  side  in  buckets ,  and  there  is  no  water  cock. 
To  get  out  the  old  water- cock  it  was  necessary  to  make  the  ship  heel  so 
much  on  her  larboard  side  as  to  raise  theoutsideof  this  water-cock  above 
water.  This  was  done  at  about  8  o'clock  on  the  morning  of  the  19th  of 
August.  To  do  this  the  whole  of  the  guns  on  the  larboard  side  were  run 
out  so  far  as  they  would  go  ,  quite  to  the  broasts  of  the  guns ,  and  the 
starboard  guns  drawn  in  a  midship  and  secured  by  tackles,  two  to  every 
gun  ,  one  on  each  side.  This  brought  the  water  nearly  on  a  level  with 
the  port-holes  of  the  larboard  side,  of  the  lower  gundeck.  The  men  were 
working  at  this  water-cock  on  the  outside  of  the  ship  for  nearly  an  hour, 
the  ship  remaining  on  one  side. 

At  about  9  o'clock  A.  M.,  or  rather  before,  we  had  just  finished  our 
breakfast, — says  the  narrator, — and  the  last  lighter,  with  rum  on  board, 
had  come  alongside:  this  vessel  was  a  sloop  of  about  fifty  tons,  and  belonged 
to  three  brothers,  who  used  her  to  carry  things  on  board  the  men-of-war. 
She  was  lashed  to  the  larboard  side  of  the  Royal  George  ,  and  we  were 
piped  to  clear  the  lighter,  and  get  the  rum  out  of  her ,  and  stow  it  in  the 
hold  of  the  Royal  George.  I  was, in  the  waist  of  our  ship,  on  the  larboard 
side,  bearing  the  rum-casks  over,  as  some  men  of  the  Royal  George  were 
aboard  the  sloop  to  sling  them. 

At  first  no  danger  was  apprehended  from  the  ship's  being  on  one  side, 
although  the  water  kept  dashing  in  at  the  port- holes  at  every  wave;  and 
there  being  mice  in  the  lower  part  of  the  ship,  which  were  disturbed  by 
the  water  which  dashed  in,  they  were  hunted  in  the  water  by  the  men, 
and  there  had  been  a  rare  game  going  on.  However,  by  about  9  o'clock 
the  additional  quantity  of  rum  on  board  the  ship,  and  also  the  quantity  of 
sea-water  -  which  had  dashed  in  at  the  port-holes,  brought  the  larboard 
poTt-holes  of  the  lower  gun  deck  nearly  level  with  the  sea. 

As  soon  as  that  was  the  case,  the  carpenter  went  on  the  quarter  deck 
to  the  lieutenant  of  the  watch,  to  ask  him  to  give  orders  to  right  ship, 


—  117  — 

as  the  ship  could  not  bear  it  any  longer.  However,  the  lieutenant  made 
him  a  very  short  answer,  and  the  carpenter  then  went  below.  The  cap- 
tain's name  was  Waghorn.  He  was  on  board,  but  where  he  was  I  do  not 
know;  —  however,  captains,  if  finy thing  is  to  be  done  when  the  ship  is 
in  harbour,  seldom  interfere,  but  leave  it  all  to  the  officer  of  the  watch. 
The  lieutenant  was,  if  I  remember  right,  the  third  lieutenant;  he  had  not 
joined  us  long;  his  name  1  do  not  recollect;  he  was  a  good-sized  man, 
between  thirty  and  forty  years  of  age.'  The  men  called  him  «Jib-and- 
Foresail  -  Jack »,  for,  if  he  had  the  watch  in  the  night,  he  would  be  always 
bothering  the  men  to  alter  the  sails,  and  it  was  «up  jib»,  and  «down 
jib»,  and  «up  foresail>>  and  u down  foresail*,  every  minute.  However, 
the  men  considered  him  more  of  a  troublesome  officer  than  a  good  one; 
and,  from  a  habit  he  had  of  moving  his  fingers  about  when  walking  the 
quarter-deck,  the  men  said  he  was  an  organ-player  from  London,  but  I 
have  no  reason  to  suppose  that  that  was  the  case.  The  admiral  was  either 
in  the  cabin  or  in  his  steerage,  I  do  not  know  which;  and  the  barber, 
who  had'been  to  shave  him,  had  just  left.  The  admiral  was  a  man  up- 
wards of  seventy  years  of  age;  he  was  a  thin  tall  man  who  stooped  a 
good  deal. 

As  I  have  already  stated,  the  carpenter  left  the  quarter-deck  and  went 
below.  In  a  very  short  time  he  came  up  again,  and  asked  the  lieutenant 
of  the  watch  to  right  the  ship,  and  said  again  that  the  ship  could  not 
bear  it;  but  the  lieutenant  replied:  aD— ye,  sir,  if  you  can  manage  the 
ship  better  than  I  can,  you  had  better  take  the  command*.  Myself  and  a 
good  many  more  were  at  the  waist  of  the  ship  and  at  the  gangways,  and 
heard  what  passed,  and  as  we  knew  the  danger,  we  began  to  feel  aggrieved; 
for  there  were  some  capital  seamen  on  board,  who  knew  what  they 
were  about  quite  as  well  as  the  officers. 

In  a  very  short  time,  a  minute  or  two  I  should  think,  the  lieutenant 
ordered  the  drummer  to  be  called  to  beat  to  right  ship.  The  drummer 
was  called  in  a  moment,  and  the  ship  was  then  just  beginning  to  sink. 
I  jumped  off  the  gangway  as  soon  as  the  drummer  was  called.  There 
was  no  time  for  him  to  beat  his  drums,  and  I  don't  know  that  he  had 
even  time  to  get  it.  I  ran  down  to  my  station,  and  by  the  time  I  had 
got  there,  the  men  were  tumbling  down  the  hatchways  one  over  another 
to  get  to  their  stations  as  soon  as  possible  to  right  ship.  My  station  was 
at  the  third  gun  from  the  head  of  the  ship  on  the  starboard  side  of  the 


—  118   — 

lower  gun -deck,  close  by  where  the  cable  passes,  indeed  it  was  just  abaft 
the  bight  of  the  cable.  I  said  to  the  lieutenant  of  our  gun,  whose  name 
was  Carrel,  for  every  gun  has  a  captain  and  a  lieutenant  (though  they 
are  only  sailors):  «Let  us  try  to  bouse  our  gun  out  without  waiting  for 
the  drum,  as  it  will  help  to  right  ship».  We  pushed  the  gun,  but  it  ran 
back  upon  us.  and  we  could  not  start  it.  The  water  then  rushed  in  at 
nearly  all  the  port-holes  of  the  larboard  side  of  the  lower  gun-deck,  and 
1  directly  said  to  Carrel:  «Ned,  lay  hold  of  the  ring  bolt,  and  Jump  out 
at  the  porthole;  the  ship  is  sinking,  and  we  shall  all  be  drowned*.  He 
laid  hold  of  the  ring  bolt,  and  jumped  out  at  the  port-hole  into  the  sea: 
I  believe  he  was  drowned,  for  I  never  saw  him  afterwards.  I  immediately 
got  out  at  the  same  port -hole,  which  was  the  third  from  the 
head  of  the  ship  on  the  starhord  side  of  the  lower  gun -deck,  and  when 
I  had  done  so,  I  saw  the  port  hole  as  full  of  heads  as  it  could  cram,  all 
trying  to  get  out.  I  caught  hold  of  the  best  bower-anchor,  which  was 
just  above  me,  to  prevent  my  falling  back  again  into  the  port-hole,  and 
seized  hold  of  a  woman  who  was  trying  to  get  out  at  the  same  place, — 
I  dragged  her  out.  The  ship  was  full  of  Jews,  w^omen,  and  people  selling 
all  sorts  of  things.  I  threw  the  woman  from  me,  —  and  saw  all  the  heads 
drop  back  again  in  at  the  port-hole;  for  the  ship  had  got  so  much  on 
her  larboard  side,  that  the  starboard  port-holes  were  as  upright  as  if  the 
men  had  tried  to  get  out  at  the  top  of  a  chimney  with  nothing  for  their 
legs  and  feet  to  act  upon.  I  threw  the  woman  from  me,  and  just  the 
moment  ,after  the  air  that  was  between  decks  drafted  out  at  the  port- 
holes very  quickly.  It  was  quite  a  huff  of  wind,  and  it  blew  my  hat  off, 
for  I  had  all  my  clothes  on,  including  my  hat.  The  ship  then  sank  in  a 
moment.  I  tried  to  swim,  but  I  could  not  swim  a  stroke,  although  I 
plunged  as  hard  as  I  could  with  both  hands  and  feet.  The  sinking  of  the 
ship  drew  me  down,  —  indeed  I  think  I  must  have  gone  down  within  a 
yard  as  Ioav  as  the  ship  did.  When  the  ship  touched  the  bottom,  the 
water  boiled  up  a  great  deal,  and  1  felt  that  I  could  swim. 

When  I  was  about  half  way  up  to  the  top  of  the  water,  I  put  my  right 
hand  on  the  head  of  a  man  that  was  nearly  exhausted.  He  Avore  long  hair, 
as  many  of  the  men  at  Ihat  time  did;  he  tried  to  grapple  me,  and  he 
put  his  four  fingers  into  my  right  shoe  alongside  the  outer  edge  of  my 
foot.  I  succeeded  in  kicking  my  shoe  off,  and,  putting  my  hand  on  his 
shoulder,  i  shoved  him  away,  —  1  then  rose  to  the  surface  of  the  water. 


—  119  — 

At  tho  time  the  ship  was  sinking,  (here  was  a  barrel  of  tar  on  tlie 
starboard  side  of  her  deck,  and  that  had  rolled  to  the  larboard  and  staved 
as  the  ship  went  down;  and  when  1  rose  to  the  top  of  the  water,  the  tar 
was  floating  like  fat  on  the  top  of  a  boiler.  I  got  the  tar  about  my  hair 
and  face,  but  I  struck  it  away  as  well  as  I  could,  and  when  my  head 
became  above  water,  I  heard  the  cannon  ashore  firing  for  distress.  I 
looked  about  me,  and  at  the  distance  of  eight  or  ten  yards  from  me,  I 
saw  the  main-topsail-halyard-block  above  water;  —  the  water  was  about 
thirteen  fathoms  deep,  and  at  that  time  the  tide  was  coming  in.  I  swam 
to  the  maiu-topsail-halyard-block,  got  on  it,  and  sat  upon  it,  and  there 
I  rode.  The  fore,  main,  and  mizen  tops  were  all  above  water,  as  were 
part  of  the  bowsprit  and  part  of  the  ensign  staff,  with  the  ensign  upon  it. 

Ill  going  down,  the  main-yard  of  the  Royal  George  caught  the  boom 
of  the  rum-lighter  and  sunk  her,  and  there  is  no  doubt  that  this  made 
the  Royal  George  more  upright  in  the  water  when  sunk  than  she  other- 
wise would  have  been,  as  she  did  not  lie  much  more  on  her  beam- ends 
than  small  vessels  often  do  when  left  dry  on  a  bank  of  mud. 

When  I  got  on  the  main-topsail-halyard-block  I  saw  the  admiral's 
baker  in  the  shrouds  of  the  mizen-topmast,  and  directly  after  that  the 
woman  whom  I  had  pulled  out  of  the  port-hole  came  rolling  by.  I  said 
to  the  baker,  who  was  an  Irishman  named  Robert  Cleary:  «Bob,  reach 
out  your  hand  and  catch  hold  of  that  woman;  —  that  is  the  woman  I 
pulled  out  at  the  port-hole.  I  dare  say  she  is  not  dead».  He  said:  «I 
dare  say  she  is  dead  enough;  it  is  of  no  use  to  catch  hold  of  her*.  I 
replied,  «I  dare  say  she  is  not  dead".  He  caught  hold  of  the  woman  and 
hung  her  head  over  one  of  the  ratlins  of  the  mizen -shrouds,  and  there  she 
hung  by  her  chin,  which  was  hitched  over  the  ratlin;  but  a  surf  came 
and  knocked  her  backwards,  and  away  she  went  rolling  over  and  over. 
A  captain  of  a  frigate  which  was  lying  at  Spithead  came  up  in  a  boat  as 
fast  as  he  could.  I  dashed  out  my  left  hand  in  a  direction  towards  the 
woman  as  a  sign  to  him.  He  saw  it,  and  saw  the  woman.  His  men  left 
off  rowing,  and  they  pulled  the  woman  aboard  their  boat,  and  laid  her  on 
one  of  the  thwarts.  The  captain  of  the  frigate  called  out  to  me:  «BIy 
man,  I  must  take  care  of  those  that  are  in  more  danger  than  you».  I 
said:  «I  am  safely  moored  now,  Sir». 

There  was  a  seaman,  named  Ilibbs,  lianging  by  his  two  hands  from 
the  main-stay;  and  as  he  hung  there,  the  sea  washed  over  him  every 


— .  120  — 

now  and  then  as  much  as  a  yard  deep  over  his  head;  and  when  he  saw 
it  coining  he  roared  out:  however,  he  was  but  a  fool  for  that;  for  if  he 
had  kept  himself  quiet,  he  would  not  have  wasted  his  strength,  and  would 
have  been  able  to  take  the  chance  of  holding  on  so  much  the  longer.  The 
captain  of  tlie  frigate  had  his  boat  rowed  to  the  main-stay;  but  they  got 
the  stay  over  part  of  the  head  of  the  boat,  and  were  in  great  danger  be- 
fore they  got  Hibbs  on  board.  The  captain  of  the  frigate  got  then  all  the 
men  that  were  in  the  different  parts  of  the  rigging,  including  myself  and 
the  baker,  into  his  boat,,  and  took  us  on  board  the  Victory,  where  the  doc- 
tors recovered  the  woman;  but  she  was  very  ill  for  three  or  four  days. 
On  board  the  Victory  I  saw  the  body  of  the  carpenter,  lying  on  the  hearth 
before  the  galley  fire;  some  women  were  trying  to  recover  him,  but  he 
was  quite  dead. 

The  captain  of  the  Royal  George,  who  could  not  swim,  was  picked 
up  and  saved  by  one  of  our  seamen.  The  lieutenant  of  the  watch  —  who 
was  the  principal  cause  of  the  misfortune  —  I  believe  was  drowned. 
The  number  of  persons  who  lost  their  lives  I  cannot  state  with  any  degree 
of  accuracy,  because  of  there  being  so  many  Jews,  women  and  other 
persons  on  board,  who  did  not  belong  to  the  ship.  The  complement  of 
the  ship  was  nominally  1000  men,  but  it  was  not  quite  full.  Some  were 
ashore,  and  sixty  marines  had  gone  ashore  that  morning. 

The  government  allowed  L5  each  of  the  seamen  who  were  on  board, 
and  not  droAvned,  for  the  loss  of  their  things.  1  saw  the  list,  and  there 
were  only  seventy-five.  A  vast  number  of  the  best  men  were  in  the  hold 
stowing  away  the  rum  casks:  they  must  all  have  perished,  and  so  must 
many  of  the-men  who  were  slinging  the  casks  in  the  sloop.  Two  of  the 
three  brothers  belonging  to  the  sloop  perished,  the  other  was  saved.  I 
have  no  doubt  that  the  men  caught  hold  of  each  other,  forty  or  fifty  to- 
gether, and  drowned  one  another  —  those  who  could  not  swim  catching 
hold  of  those  who  could;  and  there  is  also  little  doubt  that  as  many  got 
into  the  launch  as  could  cram  into  her,  hoping  to  save  themselves  in 
that  way,  and  went  down  in  her  altogether. 

In  a  few" days  after  the  Royal  George  sunk,  dead  bodies  would  come 
up,  thirty  or  forty  nearly  at  a  time.  Nothing  was  more  frightful  than, 
when  at  a  little  distance,  when  the  moon  shed  her  tender  beams  over 
the  placid  water,  where  so  many  brave  men  had  lost  their. lives,  to  see 
the  heads  popping  up  from  under  the  water.    A  body  would  sometimes 


.      --121  — 

rise  up  so  suddenly  as  to  make  one's  hair  stand  on  end.  The  watermen, 
there  is  no  doubt,  made  a  good  business  of  it:  they  took  from  the  bodies 
of  the  men  their  buckles,  money  and  watches,  and  then  made  fast  a  rope 
to  their  heels,  and  towed  them  to  land. 

The  water- cock  ought  to  have  been  put  to  rights  before  the  great 
quantity  of  shot  was  put  on  board;  but  if  the  lieutenant  of  the  watch  had 
given  the  order  to  right  ship  a  couple  of  minutes  earlier,  when  the  car- 
penter first  spoke  to  him,  nothing  amiss  would  have  happened;  as  three 
or  four  men  at  each  tackle  of  the  starboard  guns  would  very  soon  have 
boused  the  guns  all  out  and  righted  the  ship.  At  the  time  this  happened, 
the  Royal  George  was  anchored  by  two  anchors  from  the  head.  The  wind 
was  rather  from  the  north-west,  —  not  much  of  it,  —  only  a  bit  of  a 
breeze;  and  there  was  no  sudden  gust  or  puff  of  wind,  which  made  her 
heel  just  before  she  sunk;  it  was  the  weight  of  metal,  and  the  water 
which  had  dashed  in  through  the  port-holes,  which  sunk  her,  and  not 
the  effect  of  wind  upon  her.  Indeed,  I  do  not  recollect  that  she  had  even 
what  is  called  a  stitch  of  canvass,  to  keep  her  head  steady  as  she  lay  at 
anchor. 

I  am  now  seventy-five  years  of  age,  and  was  about  twenty-four  when 
this  happened. 

The  foregoing  curious  and  highly  interesting  narrative  has  been  com- 
municated by  Mr.  James  Ingram^  who  was  on  board  at  the  time  the 
Royal  George  sunk.  We  have  considered  it  better  to  give  it  in  his  own 
simple  language,  as  affording  a  more  graphic  description  of  this  extra- 
ordinary and  melancholy  catastrophe  than  more  beautiful  language  could 
do.  At  the  same  time  it  may  serve  the  young  reader  as  an  exercise  in 
sea  terms.  J.  S.  S.  Rothwell. 

The  following  interesting  lines  have  been  written  on  the  above 
unhappy  event,  by  which  800  souls,  with  the  unfortunate  Admiral  Kem- 
penfeldt,  perished: 

«Toll  for  the  brave ! 

The  brave  that  are  no  more, 
All  sunk  beneath  the  wave 

Fast  by  their  native  shore.

82.  Anecdotes  of  Discoveries. 

The  love  of  knowledge  will  itself  do  a  great  deal  towards  its  acqui- 
sition; and  if  it  exist  with  that  force  and  constancy  which  it  exhibits  in 
the  characters  of  all  truly  great  men,  it  will  induce  that  ardent,  but 
humble  spirit  of  observation  and  inquiry,  without  Avhich  there  can  be  no 
success.  Sir  Isaac  Newton,  of  all  men  that  ever  lived,  is  the  one  who 
has  most  extended  the  territory  of  human  knoAvledge;  and  he  used  to 
speak  of  himself  as  having  been  all  his  life  but  «a  child  gathering  pebbles 
on  the  seashore »  —  probably  meaning  by  that  allusion,  not  only  to  ex- 
press his  modest  conviction  how  mere  an  outskirt  the  field  of  his  disco- 
veries was,  compared  with  the  vastness  of  universal  nature,  but  to  de- 
scribe likewise  the  spirit  in  which  he  had  pursued  his  investigations. 
That  was  a  spirit,  not  of  selection  and  system  building,  but  of  childlike 
alacrity,  in  seizing  upon  whatever  contributions  of  knowledge  Nature 
threw  at  his  feet,  and  of  submission  to  all  intimations  of  observation  and 
experiment.  On  some  occasions,  he  was  wont  to  say,  that,  if  there  was 
any  mental  habit  or  endowment  in  which  he  excelled  the  generality  of 
men,  it  was  that  of  patience  in  the  examination  of  the  facts  and  pheno- 
mena of  his  subject.    This  was  merely  another  specimen  of  that  teach- 


ableness  which  constitutes  the  character  of  a  wise  man.  He  loved  Truth, 
and  wooed  her  with  the  unwearying  ardour  of  a  lover.  Other  speculators 
had  consulted  the  book  of  nature  principally  for  the  purpose  of  seeking 
in  it  the  defence  of  some  favourite  theory;  partially,  therefore,  and  hastily, 
as  one  would  consult  a  dictionary :  Newton  perused  it  as  a  volume 
altogether  worthy  of  being  studied  for  its  own  sake.  Hence  proceeded 
both  the  patience  with  which  he  traced  its  characters,  and  the  rich  and 
plentiful  discoveries  with  which  the  search  rewarded  him.  It  is,  indeed, 
most  instructive  to  all  who  are  anxious  to  engage  in  the  pursuit  of  know- 
ledge, (and  is  therefore  properly  introductory  to  the  general  subject  we 
are  about  to  treat),  to  consider  the  manner  in  which  bolh  this  great  man 
and  many  others,  possessing  a  portion  of  his  observant  and  inventive 
genius,  have  availed  themselves,  for  the  enlargement  of  the  boundaries 
of  philosophy,  of  such  common  occurrences  as,  from  their  very  common- 
ness, had  escaped  the  attention  of  all  less  active  and  original  minds.  " 

From  one  of  these  simple  incidents  did  Sir  Isaac  Newton  give  to  the 
world,  for  the  first  time,  the  system  of  the  universe.  It  was  in  the 
twenty  third  year  of  his  age,  that  this  extraordinary  man  was  sitting, 
as  we  are  told,  one  day  in  his  garden,  when  an  apple  fell  from  a  tree 
beside  him.  His  mind  was  perhaps  occupied,  at  that  fortunate  moment, 
in  one  of  those  philosophical  speculations  on  space  and  motion,  which 
are  known  to  have,  about  this  time,  engaged  much  of  his  attention;  and 
the  little  incident,  which  interrupted  him,  was  instantly  seized  upon  by 
his  active  spirit,  and,  by  that  power  which  is  in  genius,  assimilated  with 
thought.  The  existence  of  gravitation,  or  a  tendency  towards  the  centre 
of  the,  earth,  was  already  known,  as  affecting  all  bodies  in  the  imme- 
diate vicinity  of  our  planet;  and  the  great  Galileo  had  even  ascertained 
the  law,  or  rate,  according  to  which  their  motion  is  accelerated,  as  they 
continue  their  descent.  But  no  one  had  yet  dreamed  of  the  gravitation  of 
the  heavens,  —  till  the  idea  now  first  dimly  rose  in  the  mind  of  Newton. 
The  same  power,  he  said  to  himself,  which  has  drawn  this  apple  from 
its  branch,  would  have  drawn  it  from  a  position  a  thousand  times  as 
high.  Wherever  we  go,  we  find  this  gravitation  reigning  over  all  things. 
If  we  ascend  even  to  the  tops  of  the  highest  mountains,  we  discover  no 
sensible  diminution  of  its  power.  Why  may  not  its  influence  extend  far 
beyond  any  height,  to  which  we  can  make  our  way?  Why  may  it  not 
reach  to  the  moon  itself?   Why  may  not  this  be  the  very  power  which 


-   125  — 

retains  that  planet  in  its  orbit,-  and  keeps  it  revolving  as  it  does  around 
our  own  earth?  It  was  a  splendid  conjecture,  and  we  may  be  sure,  that 
Newton  instantly  set  all  his  sagacity  at  work  to  verify  it. 

Another  very  beautiful  example,  in  the  way  in  which  some  of  the 
most  valuable  truths  of  philosophy  have  been  suggested  for  the  first  time, 
by  the  simplest  incidents  of  common  life,  is  afforded  by  Galileo's  disco- 
very of  the  regularity  of  oscillation  in  the  pendulum.  It  was  while  stand- 
ing one  day  in  the  metropolitan  church  of  Pisa,  that  his  attention  was 
first  awakened  to  this  important  fact,  by  observing  the  movements  of  a 
lamp  suspended  from  the  ceiling,  which  some  accident  had  disturbed  and 
caused  to  vibrate.  Now  this  or  something  exactly  similar,  was  a  pheno- 
menon which,  of  course,  every  one  had  observed  thousands  of  times  be- 
fore. But  yet  nobody  had  ever  viewed  it  with  the  philosophic  attention, 
with  which  it  was  on  this  occasion  examined  by  Galileo.  Or  if,  as  possi- 
bly was  the  case,  any  one  had  been  half  unconsciously  struck  for  a  mo- 
ment by  that  apparent  equability  of  motion,  which  arrested  so  forcibly  the 
curiosity  of  Galileo,  the  idea  had  been  allowed  to  escape  the  instant  it 
had  been  caught,  as  relating  to  a  matter  not  worth  a  second  thought.  The 
young  philosopher  of  Italy  (for  he  had  not  then  reached  the  twentieth 
year)  saw  at  once  the  important  application  which  might  be  made  of  the 
thought  that  had  suggested  itself  to  him.  He  took  care,  therefore,  to  as- 
certain immediately  the  truth  of  his  conjecture,  by  careful  and  repeated 
experiment,  and  the  result  was  the  complete  discovery  of  the  principle 
of  the  most  perfect  measure  of  time  which  we  yet  possess. 

Another  example  which  may  be  given,  is  that  of  the  famous  Prince 
Rupert's  supposed  discovery  of  the  mode  of  engraving,  called  mezzotinto, 
which  is  said  to  have  been  suggested  to  him  by  observing  a  soldier,  one 
morning,  rubbing  off  from  the  barrel  of  his  musket  the  rust  which  it  had 
contracted  from  being  exposed  to  the  night  dew.  The  prince  perceived, 
on  examination,  that  the  dew  had  left  on  the  surface  of  the  steel  a  collec- 
tion of  very  minute  holes,  so  as  to  form  the  resemblance  of  a  dark  en- 
graving, part  of  which  had  been  here  and  there  already  rubbed  away  by 
the  soldier.  He  immediately  conceived  the  idea  that  it  would  be  practi- 
cable to  find  a  way  of  covering  a  plate  of  copper  in  the  same  manner 
with  little  holes.  Pursuing  this  thought,  he  at  last  after  a  variety  of  ex- 
periments, invented  a  species  of  steel  roller,  covered  with  points  or  sa- 
lient teeth,  which  being  pressed  against  the  copper  plate,  indented  it  iu 


,    .         ■        -  126  ^ 

the  manner  he  wished;  and  the  roughness  thus  occasioned  had  only  to  be 
scraped  down,  where  necessary,  in  order  to  produce  any  gradation  of 
shade  that  might  be  desired. 

The  celebrated  modern  invention  of  the  balloon  is  said  to  have  had 
an  origin  still  more  simple.  According  to  some  authorities,  the  idea  was 
first  suggested  to  Stephen  Montgolfier,  one  of  the  two  brothers  to  whom 
we  owe  the  contrivance,  by  the  waving  of  a  linen  shirt,  which  was  hang- 
ing before  the  fire,  in  the  warm  and  ascending  air.  Others  tell  us,  that 
it  was  his  brother  Joseph  who  first  thought  of  it,  on  perceiving  the  smoke 
ascending  his  chimney  one  day  during  the  memorable  siege  of  Gibraltar, 
as  he  was  sitting  alone,  musing  on  the  possibility  of  penetrating  into  the 
place,  to  which  his  attention  had  been  called  at  the  moment  by  a  picture 
of  it,  on  which  he  had  accidentally  cast  his  eyes.  It  is  known,  however, 
that  the  two  brothers  had,  before  this,  studied  and  made  themselves  fa- 
miliar with  Priestley's  work  on  the  different  kinds  of  air;  and  it  is  even 
said,  that  Stephen  had  conceived  the  idea  of  navigating  the  heavens,  by 
the  employment  of  a  gas  lighter  than  common  atmospheric  air,  on  his 
way  home  from  Montpelier,  where  he  had  purchased  that  book.  Newton, 
too,  is  well  known  to  have  been  indebted  for  the  first  hint  of  certain  of 
his  great  optical  discoveries  to  the  child's  amusement  of  blowing  bubbles 
out  of  soap;  and  as  I)r.  Pemberton  has  ingeniously  observed,  in  his  ac- 
count of  that  great  man's  philosophy,  «it  is  suitable  to  this  mode  of 
thinking  that  he  has,  in  his  «Observations  on  Daniel»,  made  a  very  cu- 
rious as  well  as  useful  remark,  that  our  Saviour's  precepts  were  all  occa- 
sioned by  some  ordinary  circumstance  of  things  then  especially  before 
him».  —  The  year  1815  is  rendered  memorable  by  the  discovery  of  the 
safety  lamp,  one  of  the  most  beneficial  applications  of  science  to  econom- 
ical purposes  yet  made,  by  which  hundreds,  perhaps  thousands,  of  lives 
have  been  preserved.  Davy  was  led  to  the  consideration  of  this  subject 
by  an  application  from  Dr.  Gray,  the  chairman  of  a  society  established 
in  1813,  at  Bishop  Wearmouth,  to  consider  and  promote  the  means  of 
preventing  accidents  by  fire  in  coal  pits.  Being  then  in  Scotland,  he  vis- 
ited the  mines  on  his  return  southward,  and  was  supplied  with  speci- 
mens of  fire  damp,  which,  on  reaching  London,  he  proceeded  to  examine 
and  analyze.  He  soon  discovered  that  the  carbonated  hydrogen  gas,  called 
fire  damp  by  the  miners,  would  not  explode  when  mixed  with  less  than 
six,  or  more  than  fourteen  times  its  volume  of  air;  and  further,  that  the 


-  12?  - 

explosive  mixture  could  not  be  fired  in  tubes  of  small  diameters  and  pro- 
portionate lengths. 

Gradually  diminishing  these,  he  arrived  at  the  conclusion,  that  a  tis- 
sue of  wire,  in  which  the  meshes  do  not  exceed  a  certain  small  diame- 
ter, which  may  be  considered  as  the  ultimate  limit  of  a  series  of  such 
tubes,  is  impervious  to  the  inflamed  air;  and  that  a  lamp,  covered  with 
such  tissue,  may  be  used  with  perfect  safety  even  in  an  explosive  mix- 
ture, which  takes  fire,  and  burns  within  the  cage,  securely  cut  off  from 
the  power  of  doing  harm.  Thus  when  the  atmosphere  is  so  impure  that 
the  flame  of  the  lamp  itself  cannot  be  maintained,  the  Davy  still  supplies 
light  to  the  miner,  and  turns  his  worst  enemy  into  an  obedient  servant. 
This  invention,  the  certain  source  of  large  profit,  he  presented  with  cha- 
racteristic liberality  to  the  public.  The  words  are  preserved  in  which, 
when  pressed  to  secure  himself  the  benefit  of  it  by  a  patent,  he  declined 
to  do  so:  «I  have  enough  for  all  m)  views  and  purposes,  more  wealth 
might  be  troublesome,  and  distract  my  attention  from  those  pursuits  in 
which  I  delight*.

Historical  Extracts. 


1.  Aucient  England  and  the  Romans. 

If  you  look  at  a  Blap  of  the  World,  you  will  see,  in  the  left-hand 
upper  corner  of  the  Eastern  Hemisphere,  two  islands  lying  in  the  sea. 
They  are  England  and  Scotland,  and  Ireland;  England  and  Scotland  form 
the  greater  part  of  these  Islands,  Ireland  is  the  next  in  size.  The  little 
neighbouring  islands  which  are  so  small  upon  the  Map  as  to  be  mere 
dots,  are  chiefly  little  bits  of  Scotland  —  broken  off,  I  dare  say,  in  the 
course  of  a  great  length  of  time,  by  the  power  of  the  restless  water. 

In  the  old  days,  a  long,  long  while  ago,  before  Our  Saviour  was  born 
on  earth  and  lay  asleep  in  a  manger,  these  Islands  were  in  the  same  place, 
and  the  stormy  sea  roared  round  them,  just  as  it  roars  now.  But  the  sea 
was  not  alive,  then,  with  great  ships  and  brave  sailors,  sailing  to  and 
from  all  parts  of  the  world.  It  was  very  lanely.  The  Islands  lay  solitary, 
in  the  great  expanse  of  water.  The  foaming  waves  dashed  against  their 
cliffs,  and  the  bleak  winds  blew  over  their  forests;  but  the  winds  and 
waves  brought  no  adventurers  to  land  upon  the  Islands,  and  the  savage 
Islanders  knew  nothing  of  the  rest  of  the  world,  and  the  rest  of  the  world 
kneAV  nothing  of  them. 

It  is  supposed  that  the  Phoenicians,  who  were  an  ancient  people  fa- 
mous for  carrying  on  trade,  came  in  ships  to  these  Islands,  and  found 
that  they  produced  tin  and  lead;  both  very  useful  things,  as  you  know, 
and  both  produced  to  this  very  hour  upon  the  sea-coast.  The  most  cele- 
brated tin  mines  in  Cornwall  are,  still,  close  to  the  sea.  One  of  them, 
which  I  have  seen,  is  so  close  to  it  that  it  is  hollowed  out  underneath 
the  ocean;  and  the  miners  say  that  in  stormy  weather,  when  they  are 
at  work  down  in  that  deep  place,  they  can  hear  the  noise  of  the  waves 
thundering  above  their  heads.  So,  the  Phoenicians,  coasting  about  the 
Islands,  would  come,  without  much  difficulty,  to  where  the  tin  aud  lead 
were. 

The  Phoenicians  traded  with  the  Islandersfor  these  metals,  and  gave 
the  Islanders  some  other  useful  things  in  the  exchange.  The  Islanders 
were,  at  first,  poor  savages,  going  almost  naked  or  only  dressed  in  the 

17 


-^  130  -^ 

rough  skins  of  beasts,  and  staining  their  bodies,  as  other  savages  do, 
with  coloured  earths  and  the  juices  of  plants.  But  the  Phoenicians,  sailing 
over  to  the  opposite  coasts  of  France  and  Belgium,  and  saying  to  the 
people  there,  «We  have  been  to  these  white  cliffs  across  the  water,  which 
you  can  see  in  fine  weather,  and  from  that  country,  which  is  called 
Britain,  we  bring  this  tin  and  lead,»  tempted  some  of  the  French  and 
Belgians  to  come  over  also.  These  people  settled  themselves  on  the  south 
coast  of  England,  which  is  now  called  Kent;  and,  although  they  were  a 
rough  people  too,  they  taught  the  savage  Britons  some  useful  arts,  and 
improved  that  part  of  the  Islands.  It  is  probable  that  other  people  came 
over  from  Spain  to  Ireland,  and  settled  there. 

Thus,  by  little  and  little,  strangers  became  mixed  with  the  Islanders, 
and  the  savage  Britons  grew  into  a  wild  bold  people,  almost  savage,  still, 
especially  in  the  interior  of  the  country  away  from  the  sea  where  the  for- 
eign settlers  seldom  went;  but  hardy,  brave,  and  strong. 

The  whole  country  was  covered  with  forests  and  swamps.  The  great- 
er part  of  it  was  very  misty  and  cold.  There  were  no  roads,  no  bridges, 
no  streets,  no  houses  that  you  would  think  deserving  of  the  name.  A 
town  was  nothing  but  a  collection  of  straw-covered  huts,  hidden  in  thick 
wood,  with  a  ditch  all  round,  and  a  low  wall,  made  of  mud,  or  the 
trunks  of  trees  placed  one  upon  another.  The  people  planted  little  or  no 
corn,  but  lived  upon  the  flesh  of  their  flocks  and  cattle.  They  made  no 
coins,  but  used  metal  rings  for  money.  They  were  clever  in  basket-work, 
as  savage  people  often  are;  and  they  could  make  a  coarse  kind  of  cloth, 
and  some  very  bad  earthenware.  But  in  building  fortresses  they  were 
much  more  clever. 

They  made  boats  of  basket-work,  covered  with  the  skins  of  animals, 
but  seldom,  if  ever,  ventured  far  from  the  shore.  They  made  swords,  of 
cupper  mixed  with  tin;  but  these  swords  were  of  an  awkward  shape,  and 
so  soft  that  a  heavy  blow  would  bend  one.  They  made  light  shields, 
short  pointed  daggers,  and  spears — which  they  jerked  back  after  they  had 
thrown  them  at  an  enemy,  by  along  strip  of  leather  fastened  to  the  stem. 
The  butt-end  was  a  rattle  to  frighten  an  enemy's  horse.  The  ancient 
Britons,  being  divided  into  as  many  as  thirty  or  forty  tribes,  each  com- 
manded by  its  own  little  King,  were  constantly  lighting  with  one  another, 
as  savage  people  usually  do;  and  they  always  fought  with  these  weap- 
ons. 


—  131  — 

They  were  very  fund  of  horses.  The  stciudard  of  Keut  was  the  picture 
of  a  white  horse.  They  could  break  them  in  and  manage  them  wonder- 
fully well.  Indeed,  the  horses  (of  which  they  had  an  abundance,  though 
they  were  rather  small)  were  so  well  taught  in  those  days  that  they  can 
scarcely  be  said  to  have  improved  since ;  though  the  men  are  so  much 
wiser.  They  understood  and  obeyed  every  word  of  command;  and  would 
stand  still  by  themselves,  in  all  the  din  and  noise  of  battle,  while  their 
masters  went  to  fight  on  foot.  The  Britons  could  not  have  succeeded  in 
their  most  remarkable  art,  without  the  aid  of  these  sensible  and  trusty 
animals.  The  art  I  mean,  is  the  construction  and  management  of  war- 
chariots  or  cars,  for  which  they  have  ever  been  celebrated  in  history. 
Each  of  the  best  sort  of  these  chariots,  not  quite  breast  high  in  front, 
and  open  at  the  back,  contained  one  man  to  drive,  and  two  or  three  others 
to  fight  —  all  standing  up.  The  horses  who  drew  them  were  so  well 
trained,  that  they  would  tear,  at  full  gallop,  over  the  most  stony  ways, 
and  even  through  the  woods;  dashing  down  their  masters'  enemies  be- 
neath their  hoofs,  and  cutting  them  to  pieces  with  the  blades  of  swords, 
or  scythes,  which  were  fastened  to  the  wheels,  and  stretched  out  beyond 
the  car  on  each  side,  for  that  cruel  purpose.  In  a  moment,  while  at  full 
speed,  the  horses  would  stop,  at  the  driver's  command,  the  men  within 
would  leap  out,  deal  blows  about  them  with  their  swords  like  hail,  leap 
on  the  horses,  on  the  pole,  spring  back  into  the  chariots  anyhow;  and, 
as  soon  as  they  were  safe,  the  horses  tore  away  again. 

The  Britons  had  a  strange  and  terrible  religion,  called  the  Religion 
of  the  Druids.  It  seems  to  have  been,  brought  over,  in  very  early  times 
indeed,  from  the  opposite  country  of  France,  anciently  called  Gaul,  and 
to  have  mixed  up  the  worship  of  the  Serpent,  and  of  the  Sun  and  Moon, 
with  the  worship  of  some  of  the  Heathen  Gods  and  Goddesses,  Most  of 
its  ceremonies  were  kept  secret  by  the  priests,  the  Druids,  who  pretended 
to  be  enchanters,  and  who  carried  magicians'  wands,  and  wore,  each  of 
them,  about  his  neck,  what  he  told  ignorant  people  was  a  Serpent's  egg 
in  a  golden  case.  But  it  is  certain  that  the  Druidical  ceremonies  included 
the  sacrifice  of  human  victims,  the  torture  of  some  suspected  criminals, 
and,  on  particular  occasions,  even  the  burning  alive,  in  immense  wicker 
cages,  of  a  number  of  men  and  animals  together,  The  Druid  Priests  had 
some  kind  of  veneration  for  the  Oak,  and  for  the  miseltoe  —  the  same 
plant  that  we  hang  up  in  houses  at  Christmas  Time  now— when  its  white 


—  132  — 

berries  grew  upon  the  Oak.  They  met  together  in  dark  woods,  which 
they  called  Sacred  Groves;  and  there  they  instructed,  in  their  mysterious 
arts,  young  men  who  came  to  them  as  pupils,  and  who  sometimes  stayed 
with  them  as  long  as  twenty  years. 

These  Druids  built  great  Temples  and  altars,  open  to  the  sky,  of 
which  some  are  yet  remaining.  Stonehenge,  on  Salisbury  plain  in  Wilt- 
shire, is  the  most  extraordinary  of  these.  Three  curious  stones,  called 
Kits  Coty  House,  on  Bluebell  Hill,  near  Maidstone  in  Rent,  form  another. 
We  know,  from  examinaliou^f  the  great  blocks  of  which  such  buildings, 
are  made,  that  they  could  not  have  been  raised  without  the  aid  of  some 
ingenious  machines,  which  are  common  now,  but  which  the  ancient  Brit- 
ons certainly  did  not  use  in  making  their  own  uncomfortable  houses. 
I  should  not  wonder  if  the  Druids,  and  their  pupils  who  stayed  twenty 
years,  knowing  more  than  the  rest  of  the  Britons,  kept  the  people  out  of 
sight  while  they  made  these  buildings,  and  then  pretended  that  they  built 
them  by  magic.  Perhaps  they  had  a  hand  in  these  fortresses  too;  at  all 
events,  as  they  were  very  powerful,  and  very  much  believed  in,  and  as 
they  made  and  executed  the  laws,  and  paid  no  taxes,  I  don't  wonder  that 
they  liked  their  trade.  And,  as  they  persuaded  the  people  that  the  more 
Druids  there  were,  the  better  off  the  people  would  be,  I  don't  wonder 
that  there  were  a  good  many  of  them.  But  it  is  pleasant  to  think  that 
there  are  no  Druids  now,  who  go  on  in  that  way,  and  pretend  to  carry 
Enchanters'  Wands  and  Serpents' Eggs— and  of  course  there  is  nothing  of 
the  kind  any  where. 

Such  was  the  improved  condition  of  the  ancient  Britons,  fifty-five 
years  before  the  birth  of  Our  Saviour,  when  the  Romans,  under  their 
great  General,  Julius  Caesar,  were  masters  of  all  the  rest  of  the  known 
world.  Julius  Caesar  had  then  just  conquered  Gaul;  and  hearing,  in  Gaul, 
a  good  deal  about  the  opposite  Islands  with  the  white  cliffs,  and  about 
the  bravery  of  the  Britons  who  inhabited  it  —  some  of  whom  had  been 
fetched  over  to  help  the  Gauls  in  the  war  against  him  —  he  resolved,  as 
he  was  so  near,  to  come  and  conquer  Britain  next. 

So,  Julius  Caesar  came  sailing  over  to  this  Island  of  ours,  with  eighty 
vessels  and  twelve  thousand  men.  And  he  came  from  the  French  coast 
between  Calais  and  Boulogne,  « because  thence  was  the  shortest  passage 
into  Britain;*  just  for  the  same  reason  as  our  steamboats  now  take  the 
same  track,  every  day.  He  expected  to  conquer  Britain  easily:  but  it

was  not  such  easy  work  as  he  supposed  —  for  the  bold  Britons  fought 
most  bravely;  and,  what  with  not  having  his  horse-soldiers  with  him  (for 
they  had  been  driven  back  by  a  storm),  and  what  with  having  some  of 
his  vessels  dashed  to  pieces  by  a  high  tide  after  they  were  drawn  ashore, 
he  ran  great  risk  of  being  totally  defeated.  However,  for  once  that  the 
bold  Britons  beat  him,  he  beat  them  twice;  though  not  so  soundly  but 
that  he  was  very  glad  to  accept  their  proposals  of  peace,  and  go  away. 

But  in  the  spring  of  the  next  year,  he  came  back;  this  time,  with 
eight  hundred  vessels  and  thirty  thousand  men.  The  British  tribes  chose, 
as  their  general-in-chief,  a  Briton,  whom  the  Romans  in  their  Latin  lan- 
guage called  Cassivellaunus,  but  whose  British  name  is  supposed  to  have 
been  Caswallon.  A  brave  general  he  was,  and  well  he  and  his  soldiers 
fought  the  Roman  army!  So  well,  that  whenever  in  that  war  the  Roman 
soldiers  saw  a  great  cloud  of  dust,  and  heard  the  rattle  of  the  rapid  Brit- 
ish chariots,  they  trembled  in  their  hearts.  Besides  a  number  of  smaller 
battles,  there  was  a  battle  fought  near  Cherstey,  in  Surrey;  there  was  a 
battle  fought  near  a  marshy  little  town  in  a  wood,  the  capital  of  that 
part  of  Britain,  which  belonged  to  Cassivellaunus,  and  which  was  pro- 
bably near  what  is  now  Saint  Albans,  in  Hertfordshire,  However,  brave 
Cassivellaunus  had  the  worst  of  it,  on  the  whole;  though  he  and  his  men 
always  fought  like  lions.  As  the  other  British  chiefs  were  jealous  of  him, 
and  were  always  quarrelling  with  him,  and  with  one  another,  he  gave 
up,  and  proposed  peace.  Julius  Caesar  was  very  glad  to  grant  peace  easily, 
and  to  go  away  again  with  all  his  remaining  ships  and  men.  He  had 
expected  to  find  pearls  in  Britain,  and  he  may  have  found  a  few  for  any- 
thing I  know;  but,  at  all  events,  he  found  delicious  oysters,  and  I  am  sure 
he  found  tough  Britons  —  of  whom,  I  dare  say,  he  made  the  same  com- 
plaint as  Napoleon  Bonaparte,  the  great  French  general,  did  eighteen 
hundred  years  afterwards,  when  he  said  they  were  such  unreasonable 
fellows  that  they  never  knew  when  they  were  beaten.  They  never  did 
know,  I  believe,  and  never  will. 

Nearly  a  hundred  years  passed  on,  and  all  that  time  there  was  peace 
in  Britain.  The  Britons  improved  their  towns  and  mode  of  life:  became 
more  civilised,  travelled,  and  learnt  a  great  deal  from  the  Gauls  and  Ro- 
mans. At  last,  the  Roman  Emperor  Claudius  sent  Apulius  Plautius,  a 
skilful  general,  with  a  mighty  force,  to  subdue  the  Island,  and  shortly 
afterwards  arrived  himself.  They  did  little;  and  Ostorius  Capula,  another 


—  134  — 

general,  came.  Some  of  the  British  Chiefs  of  Trihes  submitted.  Others 
resolved  to  fight  to  the  death.  Of  these  brave  men,  the  bravest  was  Ca- 
ractacus,  or  Caradoc,  who  gave  battle  to  the  Romans,  with  his  army, 
among  the  mountains  of  North  Wales.  «This  day,»  said  he  to  his  sol- 
diers, «decides  the  fate  of  Britain!  Your  liberty,  or  your  eternal  slavery, 
dates  from  this  hour.  Remember  your  brave  ancestors  who  drove  the 
great  Caesar  himself  across  the  sea.))  On  hearing  these  words,  his  men, 
with  a  great  shout,  rushed  upon  the  Romans.  But  the  strong  Roman 
swords  and  armour  were  too  much  for  the  weaker  British  weapons  in 
close  conflict.  The  Britons  lost  the  day.  The  wife  and  daughter  of  the 
brave  Caractacus  were  taken  prisoners;  his  brothers  delivered  themselves 
up;  he  himself  was  betrayed  into  the  hands  of  the  Romans  by  his  false 
and  base  stepmother;  and  they  carried  him,  and  all  his  family,  in  triumph 
to  Rome. 

But  a  great  man  will  be  great  in  misfortune,  great  in  prison,  great 
in  chains.  His  noble  air,  and  dignified  endurance  of  distress,  so  touched 
the  Roman  people  who  thronged  the  streets  to  see  him,  that  he  and  his 
family  were  restored  to  freedom.  No  one  knows  whether  his  great  heart 
broke,  and  he  died  in  Rome,  or  whether  he  ever  returned  to  his  own 
dear  country.  English  oaks  have  grown  up  from  acorns,  and  withered 
away,  when  they  were  hundreds  of  years  old — and  other  oaks  have  sprung 
up  in  their  places,  and  died  too  very  aged — since  the  rest  of  the  history 
of  the  brave  Caractacus  was  forgotten. 

Still,  the  Britons  would  not  yield.  They  rose  again  and  again,  and 
died  by  thousands,  SAVord  in  hand.  They  rose  on  every  possible  occasion. 
Suetonius,  another  Roman  general,  came,  and  stormed  the  Island  of  An- 
glesey (then  called  Mona)  which  was  supposed  to  be  sacred,  and  he  burnt 
the  Druids  in  their  own  wicker  cages,  by  their  own  fire.  But,  even  while 
he  was  in  Britain  with  his  victorious  troops,  the  Britons  rose.  Because 
Boadicea,  a  British  queen,  the  Avidow  of  the  King  of  the  Norfolk  and  Suf- 
folk people,  resisted  the  plundering  of  her  property  by  the  Romans  who 
were  settled  in  England;  she  was  scourged  by  order  of  Catus,  a  Roman 
officer,  and  her  two  daughters  were  shamefully  insulted  in  her  presence, 
and  her  husband's  relations  were  made  slaves.  To  avenge  this  injury,  the 
Britons  rose,  with  all  their  might  and  rage.  They  drove  Catus  into  Gaul; 
they  laid  the  Roman  possessions  waste ;  they  forced  the  Romans  out  of 
London,  then  a  poor  little  town,  but  a  trading  place;  they  hanged,  burnt, 


-  135  — 

crucified,  and  slew  by  the  sword,  seventy  thousand  Romans  in  a  few 
days.  Suetonius  strengthened  his  army,  and  advanced  to  give  them  battle. 
They  strengthened  their  army,  and  desperately  attaclted  his,  on  the  field 
where  it  was  strongly  posted.  Before  the  first  charge  of  the  Britons  was 
made,  Boadicea,  in  a  war-chariot,  with  her  hair  streaming  in  the  wind, 
and  her  injured  daughters  lying  at  her  feet,  drove  among  the  troops,  and 
cried  to  them  for  vengeance  on  their  oppressors,  the  licentious  Romans. 
The  Britons  fought  to  the  last;  but  they  were  vanquished  with  great 
slaughter,  and  the  unhappy  queen  took  poison. 

Still,  the  spirit  of  the  Britons  was  not  broken.  When  Suetonius  left 
the  country,  they  fell  upon  his  troops,  and  retook  the  Island  of  Anglesey. 
The  Emperor  Agricola  came,  fifteen  or  twenty  years  afterwards,  and  re- 
took it  once  more,  and  devoted  seven  years  to  subduing  the  country, 
especially  that  part  of  it  which  is  now  called  Scotland;  but  its  people, 
the  Caledonians,  resisted  him  at  every  inch  of  ground.  They  fought  the 
blodiest  battles  with  him;  they  killed  their  very  wives  and  children,  to 
prevent  his  making  prisoners  of  them;  they  fell,  fighting,  in  such  great 
numbers  that  certain  hills  in  Scotland  are  yet  supposed  to  be  vast  heaps 
of  stones  piled  up  above  their  graves.  The  Emperor  Hadrian  came,  thirty 
years  afterwards,  and  still  they  resisted  him.  The  Emperor  Severus  came, 
nearly  a  hundred  years  afterwards,  and  they  worried  his  great  army  like 
dogs,  rejoiced  to  see  them  die  by  thousands  in  the  bogs  and  swamps. 
Caracalla,  the  son  and  successor  of  Severus,  did  the  most  to  conquer 
them,  for  a  time;  but  not  by  force  of  arms.  He  knew  how  little  that 
would  do.  He  yielded  up  a  quantity  of  land  to  the  Caledonians,  and  gave 
the  Britons  the  same  privileges  as  the  Romans  possessed.  There  was 
peace,  after  this,  for  seventy  years. 

Then  new  enemies  arose.  They  were  the  Saxons,  a  fierce,  seafaring 
people  from  the  countries  to  the  North  of  the  Rhine,  the  great  river  of 
Germany,  on  the  banks  of  which  the  best  grapes  grow  to  make  the  Ger- 
man wine.  They  began  to  come,  in  pirate  ships,  to  the  sea  coast  of  Gaul 
aud  Britain,  and  to  plunder  them.  They  were  repulsed  by  Carausius,  a 
native  either  of  Belgium  or  of  Britain,  who  was  appointed  by  the  Romans 
to  the  command,  and  under  whom  the  Britons  first  began  to  fight  upon 
the  sea.  But  after  his  time  they  renewed  their  ravages.  A  few  years 
more,  and  the  Scots  (which  was  then  the  name  for  the  people  of  Ireland), 
and  the  Picts,  a  northern  people,  began  to  make  Irequeut  plundering  in- 


-  1S6  — 

cursions  into  the  South  of  Britain.  All  these  attacks  were  repeated,  at 
intervals ,  during  two  hundred  years ,  and  through  a  long  succession  of 
Roman  Emperors  and  chiefs;  during  all  which  length  of  time,  the  Britons 
rose  against  the  Romans,  over  and  over  again.  At  last,  in  the  days  of  the 
Roman  Emperor  Honorius,  Avheu  the  Roman  power  all  over  the  world 
was  fast  declining,  and  when  Rome  wanted  all  her  soldiers  at  home,  the 
Romans  abandoned  all  hope  of  conquering  Britain,  and  went  away.  And 
still  at  last,  as  at  first,  the  Britons  rose  against  them,  in  their  old  brave 
manner;  for,  a  very  little  while  before,  they  had  turned  away  the  Roman 
magistrates,  and  declared  themselves  an  independent  people. 

Five  hundred  years  had  passed,  since  Julius  Caesar's  first  invasion 
of  the  Island,  when  the  Romans  departed  from  it  for  ever.  In  the  course 
of  that  time,  although  they  had  been  the  cause  of  terrible  fighting  and 
bloodshed,  they  had  done  much  to  improve  the  condition  of  the  Britons. 
They  had  made  great  military  roads;  they  had  built  forts;  they  had  taught 
them  how  to  dress,  and  arm  themselves,  much  belter  than  they  had  ever 
known  how  to  do  before;  they  had  refined  the  whole  British  way  of  liv- 
ing. Agricola  had  built  a  great  wall  of  earth,  more  than  seventy  miles 
long,  extending  from  Newcastle  to  beyond  Carlisle,  for  the  purpose  of 
keeping  out  the  Picts  and  Scots;  Hadrian  had  strengthened  it;  Severus, 
finding  it  much  in  want  of  repair,  had  built  it  afresh  of  stone.  Above 
all,  it  was  in  the  Roman  time,  and  by  means  of  Roman  ships,  that  the 
Christian  Religion  was  first  brought  into  Britain ,  and  its  people  first 
taught  the  great  lesson  that,  to  be  good  in  the  sight  of  God,  they  must 
love  their  neighbours  as  themselves,  and  do  unto  others  as  they  would 
be  done  by.  The  Druids  declared  it  was  very  wicked  to  believe  any  such 
thing,  and  cursed  all  the  people  who  did  believe  it,  very  heartily.  But 
when  the  people  found  that  they  were  none  the  better  for  the  blessings 
of  the  Druids,  and  none  the  worse  for  the  curses  of  the  Druids,  but  thai 
the  sun  shone  and  the  rain  fell  without  consulting  the  Druids  at  all,  they 
just  began  to  think  that  the  Druids  were  mere  men,  and  that  it  signified 
very  little  whether  they  cursed  or  blessed.  After  which,  the  pupils  of 
the  Druids  fell  off  greatly  in  numbers,  and  the  Druids  took  to  other 
trades. 

Thus  I  have  come  to  the  end  of  the  Roman  time  in  England.  It  is 
but  little  that  is  known  of  those  five  hundred  years;  but  some  remains  of 
them  are  still  found.   Often,  when  labourers  are  digging  up  the  ground, 


—  137  ~ 

to  make  foundations  for  houses  or  churches,  they  light  on  rusty  money 
that  once  belonged  to  the  Romans.  Fragments  of  plates  from  which  they 
ate,  of  goblets  from  which  they  drank,  and  of  pavement  on  which  they 
trod,  are  discovered  among  the  earth  that  is  broken  by  the  plough,  or  the 
dust  that  is  crumbled  by  the  gardener's  spade.  Wells  that  the  Romans 
sunk,  still  yield  water;  roads  that  the  Romans  made,  form  part  of  our 
highways.  Id  some  old  battle-fields  British  spearheads  and  Roman  arm- 
our have  been  found,  mingled  together  in  decay,  as  they  fell  in  the  thick 
pressure  of  the  fight.  Traces  of  Roman  camps  overgrown  with  grass,  and 
of  mounds  that  are  the  burial-places  of  heaps  of  Britons,  are  to  be  seen 
in  almost  all  parts  of  the  country.  Across  the  bleiik  moors  of  Northum- 
berland, the  wall  of  Severus,  over-run  with  moss  and  weeds,  still  stretch- 
es, a  strong  ruin;  and  the  shepherds  and  their  dogs  lie  sleeping  on  it 
in  the  summer  weather.  On  Salisbury  Plain,  Stonehenge  yet  stands:  a 
monument  of  the  earlier  time  when  the  Roman  name  was  unknown  in 
Britain,  and  when  the  Druids,  with  their  best  magic  wands,  could  not 
have  written  it  in  the  sands  of  the  wild  sea- shore. 

(Dickers). 


2.   The  Scots  and  Plots. 

During  the  interval  of  blessed  historic  oblivion  Adrian,  who  visited 
the  island,  thought  fit  to  abandon  the  northern  extremity,  and  erected  a 
new  rampart  from  the  Solway  to  the  Tyne,  many  miles  south  of  the  ram- 
part of  Agricola.  Severus,  likewise,  who  found  his  presence  necessary 
in  Britain  to  repel  the  incursions  of  the  Caledonians  and  Meatae,  erected 
a  stone  wall  almost  parallel  with  that  of  Adrian;  and  so  firmly  was  it  con- 
structed, that  its  remains  are  still  visible.  The  Caledonians  were  a  fierce 
and  hardy  tribe,  supposed  to  have  emigrated  from  Ireland  into  Scotland, 
the  wild  and  mountainous  region  of  which  they  occupied-  The  Meatae 
were  the  inhabitants  of  the  northern  part  of  England,  who,  though  equally 
as  barbarous  as  the  Caledonians,  yet  not  possessing  a  country  so  difficult 
of  access  were  more  easily  subdued. 

When  Constantius  ascended  the  imperial  throne  of  Rome,  he  placed 
Britain  under  the  Prefect  of  the  Gauls  and  divided  it  into  three  provinces. 

i8 


-  138  -- 

The  first,  called  Britannia  prima,  comprehended  all  that  portion  of  Brit- 
ain, which  lies  south  of  the  Thames.  London  was  its  capital.  The  sec- 
ond was  named  Britannia  secunda.  It  comprehended  that  part  of  the 
country,  which  lies  between  the  river  Severn  and  the  Irish  sea,  and  which 
is  now  called  Wales.  Isca,  or  Caerleon,  was  its  chief-town.  The  third 
named  Maxima  Caesariensis,  included  all  the  remaining  part  of  Britain, 
east  and  north  of  the  Thames  and  the  Severn.  York  was  its  principal 
city.  Towards  the  close  of  the  fourth  century  the  Britons  engaged  in  the 
party  of  Maximus,  a  pretender  to  the  imperial  sceptre,  and  multitudes  of 
them  accompanied  him  into  Gaul.  His  euterprize  failed,  but  his  British 
soldiers  retreating  to  Armorica,  settled  there.  The  name  Bretagne,  Brit- 
any,  and  evident  traces  of  their  language  are  standing  proofs  of  this 
event. 

In  the  year  of  Christ  412  the  weakened  conditions  of  the  empire 
obliged  Houorius  to  withdraw  the  Roman  troops  from  distant  stations, 
in  order  to  streng  then  the  more  central  parts  of  his  dominions.  The  Picts, 
so  called  from  the  term  Pictich,  a  plunderer,  together  with  the' Scots, 
who  derived  that  appellation  from  the  Celtic  word  Scuite,  a  wanderer, 
quickly  forced  the  rampart  which  had  been  raised  by  Roman  skill,  and 
defended  by  Roman  bravery,  and  overwhelmed  the  unwarlike  Britons, 
like  a  torrent.  Twice  the  Roman  emperor  sent  them  aid  from  Gaul. 
Gallio  of  Ravenna,  who  commanded  the  last  detachment  of  auxiliaries, 
having  driven  back  the  savage  plunderers  to  their  woods  and  fastnesses, 
assembled  the  chiefs  of  the  island  and  informed  them  that  they  could  not 
longer  hope  for  the  assistance  of  the  Romans,  but  must  depend  for  their 
safety  upon  their  own  exertions.  The  repairing  of  the  wall  of  Severus, 
arms  and  military  engines,  with  instructions  how  to  use  them,  were  the 
last  kind  offices  the  Britons  received  from  their  friendly  conquerors.  But 
arms  and  military  engines  are  of  little  avail,  without  courage  and  expe- 
rience, to  use  them.  —  Britain  had  been  a  Roman  province  nearly  400 
years. 

The  Scots  and  Picts  soon  poured  in  again  upon  the  effeminated  Brit- 
ons; who  instead  of  uniting  to  oppose  their  dreaded  foes,  wasted  the  little 
strength  they  had  in  absurd  disputes  with  one  another.'  So  wretched  was 
the  condition  to  which  they  were  reduced,  that  they  implored  succour 
from  Aetius,  the  celebrated  commander,  whose  courage  and  skill  was 
the  sole  support  of  the  empire  against  the  attack  of  the  dreadful  Attila 


—  139  — 

and  his  savage  Hiins,  in  most  lamentable  and  bewailing  language.  «Cou[ie 
to  our  aid»,  said  they,  «for  the  barbarians  drive  us  to  the  sea,  aad  the 
sea  repels  us  upon  the  weapons  of  the  barbarians;  so  that  the  only  choice 
left  us  is  that  of  perishing  in  the  waves,  or  by  the  swords  of  our  ene- 
mies". Aetius,  having  need  of  all  his  force  to  oppose  his  terrible  foe, 
could  alford  them  no  succour.  The  Britons  abandoned  the  open  lands, 
and  sought  an  asylum  in  the  recesses  of  their  forests.  In  445  a  prince, 
named  Vortigern,  apparently  an  ambitious,  worthless  man,  gained  the 
ascendancy  over  the  Britons.  Vortigern  induced  his  countrymen  to  seek 
for  aid  against  the  Picts  and  Scots  in  Germany.  For  this  purpose,  the 
Britons  sent  an  embassy  to  the  Saxons,  the  people  destined  completely 
to  enslave  them.  (Holt). 


3.  The  Saxons. 

Off  all  the  barbarous  nations,  known  either  in  ancient  or  modern 
times,  the  Germans  seem  to  have  been  the  most  distinguished  both  by 
their  manners  and  political  institutions,  and  to  have  carried  to  the  highest 
pitch  the  virtues  of  valour  and  love  of  liberty;  the  only  virtues  which 
can  have  place  among  an  uncivilized  people,  where  justice  and  humanity 
are  commonly  neglected.  Kingly  government,  even  when  established 
among  the  Germans  (for  it  was  not  universal),  possessed  a  very  limited 
authority,  and  though  the  sovereign  was  usually  chosen  from  among  the 
royal  family,  he  was  directed  in  every  measure  by  the  common  consent 
of  the  nation  over  whom  he  presided.  When  any  important  affairs  were 
transacted,  all  the  warriors  met  in  arms,  the  men  of  greatest  authority 
employed  persuasion  to  engage  their  consent;  the  people  expressed  their 
approbation  by  rattling  their  armour,  or  their  dissent  by  murmurs:  there 
was  no  necessity  for  a  nice  scrutiny  of  votes  among  a  multitude  who 
were  usually  carried  with  a  strong  current  to  one  side  or  the  other;  and 
the  measure,  thus  suddenly  chosen  by  general  agreement,  was  executed 
with  alacrity  and  prosecuted  with  vigour.  Even  in  war,  the  princes  go- 
verned more  by  example  than  by  authority;  but  in  peace  the  civil  union 
was  in  a  great  measure  dissolved,  and  the  inferior  leaders  administered 
justice  after  an  independent  manner,  each  in  his  particular  district.  These 
were  elected  by  the  votes  of  the  people  in  their  great  councils;  and 


-  140  — 

though  regard  was  paid  to  nobility  in  the  choice,  their  personal  qualities, 
chiefly  their  valour,  procured  them  from  the  suffrages  of  their  fellow- 
citizens  that  honourable,  but  dangerous  distinction.  The  warriors  of  each 
tribe  attached  themselves  to  their  leader  with  the  most  devoted  affection 
and  most  unshaken  constancy.  They  attended  him  as  his  ornament  in 
peace,  as  his  defence  in  war,  as  his  council  in  the  administration  of 
justice.  Their  constant  emulation  in  military  renown  dissolved  not  that 
inviolable  friendship  which  they  professed  to  their  chieftain  and  to  each 
other ;  to  die  for  the  honour  of  their  band  was  their  chief  ambition :  to 
survive  its  disgrace,  or  the  death  of  their  leader,  was  infamous.  They 
even  carried  into  the  field  their  women  and  children,  who  adopted  all 
the  martial  sentiments  of  the  men:  and  being  thus  impelled  by  every 
human  motive,  they  were  invincible,  where  they  were  not  opposed  either 
by  the  similar  manners  and  institutions  of  the  neighbouring  Germans,  or 
by  the  superior  discipline,  arms,  anci  numbers  of  the  Romans. 

The  leaders  and  their  military  companions  were  maintained  by  the 
labour  of  their  slaves,  or  by  that  of  the  weaker  and  less  warlike  part  of 
the  community,  whom  they  defended.  The  contributions  which  they  levied 
went  not  beyond  a  bare  subsistence;  and  the  honours,  acquired  by  a  su- 
perior rank,  were  the  only  reward  of  their  superior  dangers  and  fatigues. 
All  the  refined  arts  of  life  were  unknown  among  the  Germans:  tillage 
itself  was  almost  wholly  neglected:  they  even  seem  to  have  been  anxi- 
ous to  prevent  any  improvements  of  that  nature;  and  the  leaders,  by 
annually  distributing  anew  all  the  land  among  the  inhabitants  of  each 
village,  kept  them  from  attaching  themselves  to  particular  possessions, 
or  making  such  progress  in  agriculture  as  might  divert  their  attention 
from  military  expeditions,  the  chief  occupation  of  the  community. 

The  Saxons  had  been  for  some  time  regarded  as  one  of  the  most 
warlike  tribes  of  this  fierce  people,  and  had  become  the  terror  of  the 
neighbouring  nations.  They  had  diffused  themselves  from  the  northern 
parts  of  Germany  and  the  Cimbrian  Chersonesus,  and  had  taken  posses- 
sion  of  all  the  sea-coast  from  the  mouth  of  the  Rhine  to  Jutland;  whence 
they  had  long  infested  by  their  piracies  all  the  eastern  and  southern  parts 
of  Britain,  and  the  northern  of  Gaul.  In  order  to  oppose  their  inroads, 
the  Romans  had  established  an  officer,  whom  they  called  Coimt  of  the 
Saxon  shore\  and  as  the  naval  arts  can  flourish  among  a  civilized 
people  alone,  they  seem  to  have  been  more  successful  in  repelling  the 


—  141  — 

Saxons,  than  any  of  the  other  barbarians  by  whom  they  were  invaded. 
The  dissolution  of  the  Roman  power  invited  them  to  renew  their  inroads; 
and  it  was  an  acceptable  circumstance,  that  the  deputies  of  the  Britons 
appeared  among  them,  and  prompted  them  to  undertake  an  enterprise, 
to  which  they  were  of  themselves  sufficiently  inclined. 

Hengist  and  Horsa,  two  brothers,  possessed  great  credit  among  the 
Saxons,  and  were  much  celebrated  both  for  their  valour  and  nobility. 
They  were  reputed,  as  most  of  the  Saxon  princes,  to  be  sprung  from 
Woden,  who  was  worshipped  as  a  god  among  those  nations,  and  they 
are  said  to  be  his  great-grandsons;  a  circumstance  which  added  much 
to  their  authority.  We  shall  not  attempt  to  trace  any  higher  the  origin  of 
those  princes  and  nations.  It  is  evident  what  fruitless  labour  it  must  be 
to  search,  in  those  barbarous  and  illiterate  ages,  for  the  annals  of  a  peo 
pie,  when  their  first  leaders,  known  in  any  true  history,  were  believed 
by  them  to  be  the  fourth  in  descent  from  a  fabulous  deity,  or  from  a 
man  exalted  by  ignorance  into  that  character.  The  dark  industry  of  an- 
tiquaries, led  by  imaginary  analogies  of  names,  or  by  uncertain  tradi- 
tions, would  in  vain  attempt  to  pierce  into  that  deep  obscurity  which 
covers  the  remote  history  of  those  nations. 

These  two' brothers,  observing  the  other  provinces  of  Germany  to  be 
occupied  by  a  warlike  and  necessitous  people,  and  the  rich  provinces  of 
Gaul  already  conquered  or  overrun  by  other  German  tribes,  found  it  easy 
to  persuade  their  countrymen  to  embrace  the  sole  enterprise  which  pro- 
raised  a  favourable  opportunity  of  displaying  their  valour  and  gratifying 
their  avidity.  They  embarked  their  troops  in  three  vessels,  and  about  the 
year  449  or  450,  carried  over  1600  men,  who  landed  in  the  isle  of 
Thanet,  and  immediately  marched  to  the  defence  of  the  Britons  against 
the  northern  invaders.  The  Scots  andPicts  were  unable  to  resist  the  val- 
our of  these  auxiliaries;  and  the  Britons,  applauding  their  own  wisdom 
in  calling  over  the  Saxons,  hoped  thenceforth  to  enjoy  peace  and  security 
under  the  powerful  protection  of  that  warlike  people. 

But  Hengist  and  Horsa  perceiving  from  their  easy  victory  over  the 
Scots  and  Picts,  with  what  facility  they  might  subdue  the  Britons  them- 
selves, who  had  not  been  able  to  resist  those  feeble  invaders,  were  de- 
termined to  conquer  and  fight  for  their  own  grandeur,  not  for  the  defence 
of  their  degenerate  allies.  They  sent  intelligence  to  Saxony  of  the  fertility 


—  142  — 

and  riches  of  Britain;  and  represented  as  certain  the  subjection  of  a  peo- 
ple so  long  disused  to  arms ,  who ,  being  now  cut  off  from  the  Roman 
empire,  of  which  they  had  been  a  province  during  so  many  ages,  had 
not  yet  acquired  any  union  among  themselves,  and  were  destitute  of  all 
affection  to  their  new  liberties,  and  of  all  national  attachments  and  re- 
gards. The  vices  and  pusillanimity  ofVortigern,  the  British  leader,  were  a 
new  ground  of  hope;  and  the  Saxons  in  Germany,  following  such  agree- 
able prospects,  soon  reinforced  Hengist  and  Horsa,  with  500  men,  who 
came  over  in  seventeen  vessels.  The  Britons  now  began  to  entertain 
apprehensions  of  their  allies,  whose  numbers  they  found  continually  aug- 
menting; but  thought  of  no  remedy,  except  a  passive  submission  and 
connivance.  This  weak  expedient  soon  failed  them.  The  Saxons  sought 
a  quarrel,  by  complaining  that  their  subsidies  were  ill  paid,  and  their 
provisions  withdrawn:  and  immediately  taking  off  the  mask,  they  formed 
an  alliance  with  the  Picts  and  Scots,  and  proceeded  to  open  hostility 
against  the  Britons. 

The  Britons,  impelled  by  these  violent  extremities,  and  roused  to 
indignation  against  their  treacherous  auxiliaries,  were  necessitated  to 
take  arms;  and  having  deposed  Vortigern,  who  had  become  odious  from 
his  vices,  and  from  the  bad  event  of  his  rash  counsels,  they  put  them- 
selves under  the  command  of  his  son,  Vortimer.  They  fought  many  bat- 
tles with  their  enemies ;  and  though  the  victories  in  these  actions  be 
disputed  between  the  British  and  Saxon  annalists,  the  progress  still  made 
by  the  Saxons  proves  that  the  advantage  was  commonly  on  their  side. 
In  one  battle,  however,  fought  at  Eaglesford,  now  Ailsford,  Horsa,  the 
Saxon  general,  was  slain,  and  left  the  sole  command  over  his  country- 
men in  the  hands  of  Hengist.  This  active  general,  continually  reinforced 
by  fresh  numbers  from  Germany,  carried  devastation  into  the  most  re- 
mote corners  of  Britain  ;  and  being  chiefly  anxious  to  spread  the  terror 
of  his  arms,  he  spared  neither  age.  nor  sex,  nor  condition,  wherever  he 
marched  with  his  victorious  forces.  The  private  and  public  edifices  of 
the  Britons  were  reduced  to  ashes:  the  priests  were  slaughtered  on  the 
altars  by  those  idolatrous  ravagers ;  the  bishops  and  nobility  shared  the 
fate  of  the  vulgar:  the  people,  flying  to  the  mountains  and  deserts,  were 
intercepted  and  butchered  in  heaps:  some  were  glad  to  accept  of  life  and 
servitude  under  their  victors:  others,  deserting  their  native  country,  took 
shelter  in  the  province  of  Armorica,  where,  being  charitably  received  by 


—  143  -^ 

a  people  of  the  same  language  and  manners,  they  settled  in  great  num 
bers,  and  gave  the  country  the  name  of  Britanny, 

(David  Hume).    ' 


4.  King  Alfred  (lie  Great, 

Alfred  was  a  young  man,  three  and  twenty  years  of  age,  when  he 
became  King.  Twice  in  his  childhood  he  had  been  taken  to  Rome,  where 
the  Saxon  nobles  were  in  the  habit  of  going  on  journeys  which  they  sup- 
posed to  be  religious;  and,  once,  he  had  staid  for  some  time  at  Paris. 
Learning,  however,  was  so  little  cared  for,  then,  that  at  twelve  years 
old  he  had  not  been  taught  to  read ;  although,  of  the  four  sons  of  King 
Ethelwulf,  he,  the  youngest,  was  the  favourite.  But  he  had  —  as  most 
men  who  grow  up  to-be  great  and  good  are  generally  found  to  have 
had  —  an  excellent  mother;  and,  one  day,  this  lady,  whose  name  was 
Osburgha,  happened,  as  she  was  sitting  among  her  sons,  to  read  a  book 
of  Saxon  poetry.  The  book  was  what  is  called  «illuminated»  with  beauti- 
ful bright  letters  richly  painted.  The  brothers  admiring  it  very  much, 
their  mother  said,  «I  will  give  it  to  that  one  of  you  four  princes,  who 
first  learns  to  read.»  Alfred  sought  out  a  tutor  that  very  day,  applied 
hjjnself  to  read  with  great  diligence,  and  soon  won  the  book.  He  was 
proud  of  it  all  his  life. 

This  great  King,  in  the  first  year  of  his  reign,  fought  nine  battles 
against  the  Danes.  He  made  some  treaties  with  them  too,  by  which  the 
false  Danes  swore  that  they  would  quit  the  country.  They  pretended  that 
they  had  taken  a  very  solemn  oath,  in  swearing  this  upon  the  holy  brace- 
lets that  they  wore,  and  which  were  always  buried  with  them  when 
they  died.  But  they  cared  little  for  it:  one  fatal  winter,  they  spread 
themselves  in  great  numbers  over  the  whole  of  England,  and  so  dispersed 
and  routed  the  King's  soldiers,  that  the  King  was  left  alone,  and  was 
obliged  to  disguise  himself  as  a  common  peasant,  and  to  take  refuge  in 
the  cottage  of  one  of  his  cowherds,  who  did  not  know  his  face. 

Here,  King  Alfred,  while  the  Danes  sought  him  far  and  wide,  was 
left  alone,  one  day,  by  the  cowherd's  wife,  to  watch  some  cakes  which 
she  put  to  bake  upon  the  hearth.  But  being  at  work  upon  his  bow  and 
arrows,  with  which  he  hoped  to  punish  the  Danes  when  a  brighter  time 


should  come,  his  noble  mind  forgot  the  cakes,  and  they  were  burnt. 
«What»,  said  the  cowherd's  wife,  who  scolded  him  well  when  she  came 
back,  «You  will  be  ready  enough  to  eat  them  by- and -by,  and  yet  you 
cannot  watch  them,  idle  dog?» 

At  length,  the  Devonshire  men  made  head  against  a  new  host  of 
Danes  who  landed  on  their  coast,  killed  their  chief,  and  captured  their 
flag,  on  which  was  represented  the  likeness  of  a  Raven.  The  loss  of  their 
standard  troubled  the  Danes  greatly,  for  they  believed  it  to  be  enchanted — 
woven  by  three  daughters  of  one  father  in  a  single  afternoon  —  and  had 
a  story  among  themselves,  that  when  they  were  victorious  in  battle,  the 
Raven  stretched  his  wings  and  seemed  to  fly;  and  that  when  they  were 
defeated,  he  would  droop.  King  Alfred  joined  the  Devonshire  men,  made 
a  camp  with  them  on  a  piece  of  firm  ground  in  the  midst  of  a  bog  in 
Somersetshire,  and  prepared  for  a  great  attempt  for  vengeance  on  the 
Danes,  and  the  deliverance  of  his  oppressed  people. 

But,  first,  as  it  was  important  to  know  how  numerous  the  Danes 
were,  and  how  they  were  fortified,  King  Alfred,  being  a  good  musician, 
disguised  himself  as  a  gleeman  or  minstrel,  and  went,  with  his  harp,  to 
the  Danish  camp.  He  played  and  sung  in  the  very  tent  of  Guthrum,  the 
Danish  leader,  and  entertained  the  Danes,  and  they  caroused.  While  he 
seemed  to  think  of  nothing  but  his  music,  he  was  watchful  of  their  tents, 
their  arms,  their  discipline,  everything  that  he  desired  to  know.  And 
right  soon  did  this  great  King  entertain  them  to  a  different  tune:  for  sum- 
moning all  his  true  followers  to  meet  him  at  an  appointed  place,  where 
they  received  him  with  joyful  shouts  and  tears,  he  put  himself  at  their 
head,  marched  on  the  Danish  camp,  defeated  the  Danes  with  great 
slaughter,  and  besieged  them  for  fourteen  days  to  prevent  their  escape. 
But,  being  as  merciful  as  he  was  good  and  brave,  he  then  proposed  peace, 
on  condition  that  they  should  altogether  depart  from  that  western  part 
of  England,  and  settle  in  the  East;  and  that  Guthrum  should  become  a 
Christian,  in  remembrance  of  the  divine  religion  which  now  taught  his 
conqueror,  the  noble  Alfred,  to  forgive  the  enemy  who  had  so  often  in- 
jured him.  This  Guthrum  did.  At  his  baptism,  King  Alfred  was  his  god- 
father. And  Guthrum  ever  afterwards  was  loyal  and  faithful  to  the  King. 
The  Danes  plundered  and  burned  no  more,  but  worked  like  honest  men; 
they  ploughed,  and  sowed,  and  reaped,  and  led  good  honest  English 
lives. 


—  145  — 

As  great  and  good  in  peace,  as  he  was  great  and  good  in  war,  King 
Alfred  never  rested  from  his  labours  to  improve  his  people.  He  loved  to 
talk  with  clever  men,  and  with  travellers  from  foreign  countries,  and  to 
write  down  what  they  told  him,  for  his  people  to  read.  He  had  studied 
Latin,  and  now  another  of  his  labours  was,  to  translate  Latin  books  into 
the  Anglo-Saxon  tongue,  that  his  people  might  be  interested  and  im- 
proved by  their  contents.  He  made  just  laws,  that  they  might  live  more 
happily  and  freely;  he  turned  away  all  partial  judges,  that  no  wrong 
might  be  done  them;  he  was  so  careful  of  their  property,  and  punished 
robbers  so  severely,  that  it  was  said  that  under  the  great  King  Alfred, 
golden  chains  and  jewels  might  have  hung  across  the  streets,  and  no 
man  would  have  touched  one.  He  founded  schools ;  he  patiently  heard 
causes  himself  in  his  court  of  justice;  the  great  desires  of  his  heart  were, 
to  do  right  to  all  his  subjects,  and  to  leave  England  better,  wiser,  hap- 
pier in  all  ways,  than  he  found  it,  Every  day  he  divided  into  certain  por- 
tions, and  in  each  portion  devoted  himself  to  a  certain  pursuit.  That  he 
might  divide  his  time  exactly,  he  had  wax  torches  or  candles  made, 
which  were  all  of  the  same  size,  were  notched  across  at  regular  distan- 
ces, and  were  always  kept  burning.  Thus,  as  the  candles  burnt  down, 
he  divided  the  day  into  notches,  almost  as  accurately  as  we  now  divide 
it  into  hours  upon  the  clock. 

Alfred  was  afflicted  with  a  terrible  unknown  disease,  which  caused 
him  violent  and  frequent  pain  that  nothing  could  relieve.  He  bore  it,  as 
he  had  borne  all  the  troubles  of  his  life,  like  a  brave  and  good  man,  until 
he  was  fifty-three  years  of  age.  Having  reigned  thirty  years,  he  died  in 
the  year  901;  but  long  ago  as  that  is,  his  fame,  and  the  love  and  gra- 
titude with  which  his  subjects  regarded  him,  are  freshly  remembered  to 
the  present  hour. 

Under  the  great  Alfred,  all  the  best  points  of  the  Anglo-Saxon  cha- 
racter were  first  encouraged,  and  in  him  first  shown.  It  has  been  the 
greatest  character  among  the  nations  of  tlie  earth.  Wherever  the  descend- 
ants of  the  Saxon  race  made  their  way,  even  to  the  remotest  regions  of 
the  world,  they  have  been  patient,  persevering,  never  to  be  broken  in 
spirit,  never  to  be  turned^  aside  from  enterprises  on  which  they  have 
resolved.  In  Europe,  Asia,  Africa,  America,  the  whole  world  over;  in 
the  desert,  in  the  forest,  on  the  sea;  scorched  by  a  burning  sun,  or  frozen 
by  ice  that  never  melts:  the  Saxon  blood  remains  unchanged.  Whereso-

ever  that  race  goes,  there  law,  and  industry,  and  safety  for  life  and 
property,  and  all  the  great  results  of  steady  perseverance,  are  certain  to 
rise.  (Charles  Dickens). 


5.   The  Story  of  Macbeth. 

Soon  after  the  Scots  and  Picts  had  become  one  people,  as  I  told  you 
before,  there  was  a  King  of  Scotland  called  Duncan,  a  very  good  old 
man.  He  had  two  sons;  one  was  called  Malcolm,  and  the  other  Donald- 
bane.  But  King  Duncan  was  too  old  to  lead  out  his  army  to  battle,  and 
his  sons  were  too  young  to  help  him. 

At  this  time  Scotland,  and  indeed  France  and  England  and  oil  other 
countries  of  Europe,  were  much  harassed  by  the  Danes.  These  were  a 
very  fierce,  warlike  people,  who  sailed  from  one  place  to  another,  and 
landed  their  armies  on  the  coast,  burning  and  destroying  every  thing 
wherever  they  came.  They  were  heathens,  and  did  not  believe  in  the 
Bible,  but  thought  of  nothing,  but  battle,  and  slaughter,  and  making 
plunder.  When  they  came  to  countries  where  the  inhabitants  were  cow- 
ardly, they  took  possession  of  the  land,  as  I  told  you  the  Saxons  took 
possession  of  Britain.  At  other  times,  they  landed  with  their  soldiers, 
took  what  spoil  they  could  find,  burned  the  houses,  and  then'goton  board, 
hoisted  sails,  and  away  again.  They  did  so  much  mischief,  that  people 
put  up  prayers  to  God  in  the  churches,  to  deliver  them  from  the  rage  of 
the  Danes. 

Now,  it  happened  in  King  Duncan's  time,  that  a  great  fleet  of  these 
Danes  came  to  Scotland,  and  landed  their  men  in  Fife,  and  threatened  to 
take  possession  of  that  province;  so  a  numerous  Scottish  army  was  levied, 
to  go  to  fight  with  them.  The  King,  as  1  told  you,  wa^  too  old  to  com- 
mand his  army,  and  his  sons  were  too  young.  So  he  sent  out  one  of  his 
near  relations,  who  was  called  Macbeth;  he  was  the  son  of  Finel,  who 
was  Thane,  as  it  was  called,  of  Glamis.  The  governors  of  provinces 
were  at  that  time,  in  Scotland,  called  Thanes;  they  were  afterwards 
termed  Earls. 

This  Macbeth,  who  was  a  brave  soldier,'  put  himself  at  the  head  of 
the  Scottish  army,  and  marched  against  the  Danes.  And  he  carried  with 
him  a  relation  of  his  own,  called  Banquo,   who  was  also  a  very  brave 


-_  147  — 

man.  So  there  was  a  great  battle  fought  between  the  Danes  and  the  Scots, 
and  Macbeth  and  Banquo  defeated  the  Danes,  and  drove  them  back  to 
their  ships,  leaving  a  great  many  of  their  soldiers  both  killed  and  wound- 
ed. Then  Macbeth  and  his  army  marched  back  to  a  town  in  the  North 
of  Scotland,  called  Forres,  rejoicing  on  account  of  their  victory. 

Now,  there  lived  at  this  time  three  old  women  in  the  town  of  Forres, 
whom  people  thought  were  witches,  and  supposed  they  could  tell,  what 
was  to  come  to  pass.  Nobody  would  believe  such  folly  now.-a-days,  ex- 
cept low  and  ignorant  creatures,  such  as  those  who  consult  gipsies,  in 
order  to  have  their  fortunes  told;  but  in  those  early  times  the  people 
were  much  more  ignorant,  and  even  great  men  like  Macbeth  believed, 
that  such  persons  as  these  witches  of  Forres  could  tell,  what  was  to 
come  to  pass  afterwards,  and  listened  to  the  nonsense  they  told  them, 
as  if  the  old  women  had  really  been  prophetesses.  The  (dd  women  saw 
that  they  were  resperted  and  feared,  so  that  they  were  tempted  to  im- 
pose upon  people,  by  pretending  to  tell  what  was  to  happen  to  them,  and 
they  got  presents  for  doing  so. 

So  the  three  old  women  went,  and  stood  by  the  wayside,  in  a  great 
moor  or  heath  near  Forres,  and  waited  till  Macbeth  came  up.  And  then 
stepping  before  him,  as  he  was  marching  at  the  head  of  his  soldiers,  the 
first  woman  said:  «All  hail,  Macbeth  —  hail  to  thee.  Thane  of  Glamis»! 
The  second  said:  «A11  hail,  Macbeth  —  hail  to  thee,  Thane  ofCawdorw! 
Then  the  third,  wishing  to  pay  him  a  higher  compliment  than  the  other 
two,  said:  «A11  hail,  Macbeth,  that  shall  be  King  of  Scotland*!  Macbeth 
was  very  much  surprised  to  hear  them  give  him  these  titles;  and  while 
he  was  wondering,  what  they  could  mean,  Banquo  stepped  forward,  and 
asked  them  whether  they  had  nothing  to  tell  about  him,  as  well  as  about 
Macbeth.  And  they  said,  that  he  should  not  be  so  great  as  Macbeth;  but 
that,  though  he  himself  should  never  be  a  king,  yet  his  children  should 
succeed  to  the  throne  of  Scotland,  and  be  Kings  for  a  great  number  of 
years. 

Before  Macbeth  was  recovered  from  his  surprise,  there  came  a  mes- 
senger to  tell  him,  that  his  father  was  dead,  so  that  he  was  become 
Thane  of  Glamis  by  inheritance.  And  there  came  a  second  messenger 
from  the  King,  to  thank  Macbeth  for  the  great  victory  over  the  Danes, 
jind  tell  him,  that  the  Thane  of  Cawdor  had  rebelled  against  the  King, 
and  that  the  King  had  taken  his  office  from  him,  and  had  sent  to  make 


—  Ii8  — 

Macbeth  Thane  of  Cawdor  as  well  as  Glamis.  Thus  the  two  first  old  wo- 
men seemed  to  be  right  in  giving  him  these  two  titles.  I  dare  say,  they 
knew  something  of  the  death  of  Macbeth's  father,  and  that  the  govern- 
ment of  Cawdor  was  intended  for  Macbeth,  though  he  had  not  heard  of  it. 

However,  Macbeth  seeing  a  part  of  their  words  come  to  be  true, 
began  to  think,  how  he  was  to  bring  the  rest  to  pass,  and  make  himself 
King,  as  well  as  Thane  of  Glamis  and  Cawdor.  And  Macbeth  had  a  wife, 
who  was  a  very  ambitious  wicked  woman,  and  when  she  found  out, 
that  her  husband  thought  of  raising  himself  up  to  be  King  of  Scotland, 
she  encouraged  him  by  all  the  means  in  her  power,  and  persuaded  him, 
that  the  only  way  to  get  possession  of  the  crown  was  to  kill  the  good 
old  King  Duncan.  Macbeth  was  very  nnwilling  to  commit  so  great  a 
crime;  for  he  knew,  what  a  good  king  Duncan  bad  been,  and  he  recol- 
lected, how  he  was  his  relation,  and  had  been  always  very  kind  to  him, 
and  had  intrusted  him  with  the  command  of  his  army,  and  had  bestowed 
on  him  the  government  or  Thanedom  of  Cawdor.  And  his  wife  continued 
telling  him,  what  a  foolish,  cowardly  thing  it  was  in  him,  not  to  take 
the  opportunity  of  making  himself  king,  when  it  was  in  his  power  to 
gain  what  the  witches  promised  him.  So  the  wicked  advice  of  his  wife, 
aud  the  prophecy  of  these  wretched  old  women,  at  last  brought  Macbeth 
to  think  of  murdering  his  King  and  his  friend.  The  way  in  which  he  ac- 
complished his  crime,  made  it  still  more  abominable. 

Macbeth  invited  Duncan  to  visit  him,  at  a  great  castle  near  Inver- 
ness; and  the  good  King,  who  had  no  suspicion  of  his  kinsmann,  ac- 
cepted the  invitation  very  willingly.  Macbeth  and  his  lady  received  the 
king  and  all  his  retinue  with  much  appearance  of  joy,  and  made  a  great 
feast,  as  a  subject  Avould  do,  to  make  his  King  welcome.  About  the 
middle  of  the  night,  the  King  desired  to  go  to  his  apartment,  and  Mac- 
beth conducted  him  to  a  fine  room,  which  had  been  prepared  for  him. 
Now  it  was  the  custom  in  those  barbarous  times,  that  wherever  the  King 
slept,  two  armed  men  slept  in  the  same  chamber,  in  order  to  defend  his 
person  in  case  he  should  be  attacked  by  any  one  during  the  night.  But 
the  wicked  Lady  Macbeth  had  made  these  two  watchman  drink  a  great 
deal  of  wine,  and  had  besides  put  some  drugs  into  the  liquor,  so  that 
when  they  went  to  the  King's  apartment,  they  both  fell  asleep,  and  *sle|Hi 
so  soundly,  that  nothing  could  awaken  them. 


—   149  — 

Then  the  cruel  Macbeth  came  into  King  Duncan's  bedroom,  about 
two  in  the  morning.  It  was  a  terrible  stormy  night;  but  the  noise  of  the 
wind  and  of  the  thunder  could  not  awaken  the  King,  as  he  was  old,  and 
weary  with  his  journey;  neither  could  it  awaken  the  two  sentinels.  They 
all  slept  soundly.  So  Macbeth  having  come  into  the  room,  and  stepped 
gently  over  the  floor,  he  took  the  two  dirks,  which  belonged  to  the  sen- 
tinels, and  stabbed  poor  old  King  Duncan  to  the  heart,  and  that  so  effec- 
tually, that  he  died  without  giving  even  a  groan.  Then  Macbeth  put  the 
bloody  daggers  into  the  hands  of  the  sentinels,  and  he  daubed  their 
faces  over  with  blood  that  it  might  appear,  as  if  they  had  committed  the 
murder.  Macbeth  was  frightened  at  what  he  had  done,  but  his  wife  made 
him  wash  his  hands  and  go  to  bed. 

Early  in  the  morning,  the  nobles  and  gentlemen,  who  attended  on 
the  King,  assembled  in  the  great  hall  of  the  Castle,  and  there  they  began 
to  talk  of  what  a  dreadful  storm  it  had  been  the  night  before.  But  Mac- 
beth could  scarcely  understand  what  they  said,  for  he  was  thinking  on 
something  much  worse  and  more  frightful  than  the  storm,  and  was  won- 
dering what  would  be  said,  when  they  heard  of  the  murder.  They  waited 
for  some  time,  but  finding  the  King  did  not  come  from  his  apartment, 
one  of  the  noblemen  went  to  see,  whether  he  was  well  or  not.  But  when 
he  came  into  the  room,  he  found  poor  King  Duncan  lying  stiff,  and  cold, 
and  blody,  and  the  two  sentinels,  with  their  dirks  or  daggers  covered  with 
blood,  both  fast  asleep.  As  soon  as  the  Scottish  Nobles  saw  this  terrible 
sight,  they  were  greatly  astonished  and  enraged,  and  Macbeth  made  be- 
lieve, as  if  he  were  more  enraged  than  any  of  them,  and  drawing  his 
sword,  before  any  one  could  prevent  him,  he  killed  the  two  attendants 
of  the  King,  who  slept  in  the  bedchamber,  pretending  to  think,  they  had 
been  guilty  of  murdering  King  Duncan. 

When  Malcolm  and  Donaldbane,  the  two  sons  of  the  good  King,  saw 
their  father  slain  in  this  manner,  within  Macbeth's  castle,  they  became 
afraid,  that  they  might  be  put  to  death  likewise,  and  fled  away  out  of 
Scotland;  for  notwithstanding  all  the  excuses  which  he  could  make,  they 
still  believed,  that  Macbeth  had  killed  their  father.  Donaldbane  fled  into 
some  distant  island,  but  Malcolm,  the  eldest  son  of  Duncan,  went  to  the 
court  of  England,  where  he  begged  for  assistance  from  the  English  King 
to  place  him  on  the  throne  of  Scotland,  as  his  father's  successor. . 


-   150  - 

In  the  meantime  Macbeth  took  possession  of  the  kingdom  of  Scotland, 
and  thus  all  his  wicked  wishes  seemed  to  he  fulfilled.  But  he  was  not 
happy.  —  He  began  to  reflect,  how  wicked  he  had  been,  in  killing  his 
friend  and  benefactor,  and  how  some  other  person,  as  ambitious  as  he 
was  himself,  might  do  the  same  thing  to  him.  He  remembered,  too,  that 
the  old  women  had  said,  that  the  children  of  Banquo  should  succeed  to 
the  throne  after  his  death,  and  therefore  he  concluded,  that  Banquo  might 
be  tempted  to  conspire  against  him,  as  he  had  himself  done  against  King 
Duncan. 

The  wicked  always  think  other  people  as  bad  as  themselves.  In  or- 
der to  prevent  this  supposed  danger,  he  hired  ruffians  to  watch  in  a 
wood,  where  Banquo  and  his  son  Fleance  sometimes  used  to  walk  in  the 
evening,  with  instructions  16  attack  them,  and  kill  both  father  and  son. 
The  villains  did  as  they  were  ordered  by  Macbeth;  but  while  they  were 
killing  Banquo,  the  boy  Fleance  made  his  escape  from  their  wicked  hands, 
and  fled  from  Scotland  into  Wales.  And  it  is  said,  that  long  afterwards 
his  children  came  to  possess  the  Scottish  crown. 

Macbeth  was  not  the  more  happy  that  he  had  slain  his  brave  friend 
and  cousin  Banquo.  He  knew  that  men  began  to  suspect  the  wicked  deeds 
which  he  had  done,  and  he  was  constantly  afraid,  that  same  one  would 
put  him  to  death,  as  he  had  done  his  old  sovereign,  or  that  Malcolm 
would  obtain  assistance  from  the  King  of  England,  and  come  to  make 
war  against  him,  and  take  from  him  the  Scottish  kingdom.  So  in  this 
great  perplexity  of  mind,  he  thought  he  would  go  to  the-old  women, 
whose  words  had  first  put  into  his  mind  the  desire  of  becoming  a  king. 
It  is  to  be  supposed,  that  he  offered  them  presents,  and  that  they  were 
cunning  enough  to  study  how  to  give^him  some  answer,  which  should 
make  him  continue  in  the  belief,  that  they  could  prophesy  what  was  to 
happen  in  future  times.  So  they  answered  him,  that  he  should  not  be 
conquered  or  lose  the  crown  of  Scotland,  until  a  great  forest,  called  Bir- 
nam  wood,  should  come  to  attack  him  in  a  strong  castle,  situated  on  a 
high  hill  called  Dunsinane.  Now,  the  hill  of  Dunsinane  is  upon  the  one 
side  of  a  valley,  and  the  forest  of  Birnam  is  upon  the  other;  there  are 
twelve  miles  distance  betwixt  them,  and  besides  that,  Macbeth  thought 
it  was  impossible  that  the  trees  could  ever  come  to  the  assault  of  the 
castle.  He  therefore  resolved  to  fortify  his  castle  on  the  hill  of  Dunsinane 
very  strongly,  as  being  a  place  in  which  he  would  always  be  sure  to  be 


~   151  — 

safe.  For  this  purpose,  he  caused  all  his  great  nobility  and  thanes  to 
send  in  stones,  and  wood,  and  other  things,  wanted  in  building,  and  to 
drag  them  with  oxen  up  to  the  top^of  the  steep  hill,  where  he  was  build- 
ing the  castle. 

Now,  among  other  nobles  who  were  obliged  to  send  oxen,  and  hor- 
ses, and  materials,  to  this  laborious  work,  was  one,  called  Macduff,  the 
Thane  of  Fife.  Macbeth  was  afraid  of  this  Thane,  for  he  was  very  pow- 
erful, and  was  accounted  both  brave  and  wise :  and  Macbeth  thought 
he  would  most  probably  join  with  Prince  Malcolm,  if  ever  he  should 
come  from  England  with  an  army.  The  King,  therefore,  had  a  private 
hatred  against  the  Thane  of  Fife,  which  he  kept  concealed  from  all  men, 
until  he  should  have  some  opportunity  of  putting  him  to  death,  as  he  had 
done  Duncan  and  Banquo.  Macduff,  on  his  pai1,  kept  upon  his  guard,  and 
went  to  the  King's  court  as  seldom  as  he  could,  thinking  himself  never 
safe  unless  while  in  his  own  castle  of  Kennoway,  which  is  on  the  coast 
of  Fife,  near  to  the  mouth  of  the  Frith  of  Forth.  It  happened,  however, 
that  the  King  had  summoned  several  of  his  nobles,  and  Macduff  the  Thane 
of  Fife,  among  others,  to  attend  him  at  his  new  castle  of  Dunsinane; 
and  they  were  all  obliged  to  come,  none  dared  stay  behind.  Now,  the 
King  was  to  give  the  nobles  a  great  entertainment,  and  preparations  were 
made  for  it.  In  the  meantime,  Macbeth  rode  out  with  a  few  attendants, 
to  see  the  oxen  drag  the  wood  and  the  stones  up  the  hill,  for  enlarging 
and  strengthening  the  castle.  So  they  saw  most  of  the  oxen  trudging  up 
the  hill  with  great  difficulty,  for  the  ascent  is  very  steep,  and  the  bur- 
dens were  heavy,  and  the  weather  was  extremely  hot.  At  length,  Mac- 
beth saw  a  pair  of  oxen  so  tired,  that  they  could  go  no  farther  up  the 
hill,  but  fell  down  under  their  load.  Then  the  King  was  very  angry,  and 
demanded  to  know  who  it  was  among  his  Thanes  that  had  sent  oxen  so 
weak  and  so  unfit  for  labour,  when  he  had  so  much  work  for  them  to 
do.  Some  one  replied,  that  the  oxen  belonged  to  Macduff,  the  Thane  of 
Fife.  «Then»,  said  the  King  in  great  anger,  « since  the  Thane  of  Fife 
sends  such  worthless  cattle  as  these,  to  do  my  labour,  I  will  put  his  own 
neck  into  the  yoke,  and  make  him  drag  the  burdens  himself». 

There  was  a  friend  of  Macduff,  who  heard  these  angry  expressions 
of  the  King,  and  hastened  to  communrcate  them  to  the  Thane  of  Fife, 
who  was  walking  in  the  Hall  of  the  King's  castle,  while  dinner  was 
preparing.  The  instant  that  Macduff  heard  what  the  King  had  said,  he 


—  152  — 

knew  he  had  no  time  to  lose  in  making  his  escape;  for  whenever  Mac- 
beth threatened  to  do  mischief  to  any  one,  he  was  sure  to  keep  his 
word. 

So  Macduff  snatched  up  from  the  table  a  loaf  of  bread,  called  for  his 
horses  and  his  servants,  and  was  gallopping  back  to  his  own  Province  of 
Fife,  before  Macbeth  and  the  rest  of  the  nobility  were  returned  to  the 
castle.  The  first  question  which  the  King  asked  was,  what  had  become 
of  Macduff?  and  being  informed,  that  he  had  fled  from  Dunsinane,  he 
ordered  a  body  of  his  guards  to  attend  him,  and  mounted  on  horseback 
himself  to  pursue  the  Thane,  with  the  purpose  of  putting  him  to  death. 

Macduff,  in  the  mean  time,  fled  as  fast  as  horse's  feet  could  carry 
him;  but  he  was  so  ill  provided  with  money  for  his  expenses,  that,  when 
he  came  to  the  great  ferry  over  the  river  Tay,  he  had  nothing  to  give  to 
the  boatmen,  who  took  him  across,  excepting  the  loaf  of  bread,  which 
he  had  taken  from  the  King's  table.  The  place  was  called,  for  a  long 
time  afterwards,  the  Ferry  of  the  loaf. 

When  Macduff  got  into  his  province  of  Fife,  which  is  on  the  other 
side  of  the  Tay,  he  rode  on  faster  than  before,  tow"ards  his  own  castle  of 
Kennoway,  which,  as  1  told  you,  stands  close  by  the  sea  side;  and  when 
he  reached  it,  the  King  and  his  guards  were  not  far  behind  him-  Mac- 
duff ordered  his  wife  to  shut  the  gates  of  the  castle,  draw  up  the  draw- 
bridge, and  on  no  account  permit  the  King,  or  any  of  his  soldiers  to 
enter.  In  the  meantime,  he  went  to  the  small  harbour  belonging  to  the 
castle,  and  caused  a  ship  which  was  lying  there,  to  be  fitted  out  for  sea 
in  all  haste,  and  got  on  bo'ard  himself,  in  order  to  escape  from  Macbeth. 

In  the  meantime,  Macbeth  summoned  the  lady  to  surrender  the  castle, 
and  to  deliver  up  her  husband.  But  Lady  Macduff,  who  was  a  wise  and 
brave  woman,  made  many  excuses  and  delays,  until  she  knew  that  her 
husband  was  safely  on  board  the  ship,  and  had  sailed  from  the  harbour. 
Then  she  spoke  boldly  from  the  wall  of  the  castle  to  the  King,  who  was 
standing  before  the  gate,  still  demanding  entrance,  with  many  threats  of 
what  he  would  do,  if  Macduff  was  not  given  up  to  him. 

«Do  you  see»,  she  said,  «yon  white  sail  upon  the  sea?  Yonder  goes 
Macduff  to  the  court  of  England.  You  will  never  see  him  again,  till  he 
comes  back  with  young  Malcolm,  to  pull  you  down  from  the  throne,  and 
to  put  you  to  death.  You  will  never  be  able  to  put  your  yoke,  as  you 
threatened,  on  the  Thane  of  Fife's  neck». 


—  153   - 

SoQie  say,  that  Macbetli  was  so  much  incensed  at  this  bold  answer, 
that  he  und  his  guards  attacked  the  castle  and  took  it,  killing  the  brave 
lady  and  all  whom  they  found  there.  But  others  say,  and  I  believe  more 
truly,  that  the  King  seeing,  that  the  castle  of  Kennoway  was  very  strong, 
and  that  Macdulf  had  escaped  from  him,  and  was  embarked  for  England, 
departed  back  to  Dunsinane,  without  attempting  to  take  Blacduff's  castle 
of  Kennoway.  The  ruins  are  still  to  be  seen. 

There  reigned  at  that  lime  in  England  a  very  good  king,  called  Ed- 
ward the  Confessor.  I  told  you,  that  Prince  Malcolm,  the  son  of  Duncan, 
was  at  his  court  soliciting  assistance,  to  recover  the  Scottish  throne. 
The  arrival  of  Macduff  greatly  aided  the  success  of  his  petition;  for  the 
English  King  knew,  that  Macduff  was  a  brave  and  a  wise  man.  As  he 
assured  Edward,  that  the  Scots  were  tired  of  the  cruel  Macbeth,  and 
would  join  Prince  Malcolm,  if -he  were  to  enter  Scotland  at  the  head  of 
an  army;  the  king  ordered  a  great  warrior,  called  Siward,  Earl  of  North- 
umberland, to  enter  Scotland  with  an  army,  and  assist  Prince  Malcolm 
in  the  recovery  of  his  father's  crown.  Then  it  happened,  as  Macduff  had 
said;  for  the  Scottish  Thanes  and  Nobles  would  not  fight  for  Macbeth, 
but  joined  Prince  Malcolm  and  Macduff  against  him;  so  that  at  length  he 
shut  himself  up  in  his  castle  of  Dunsinane,  where  he  thought  himself 
safe,  according  to  the  old  women's  prophecy,  until  Birnam  wood  should 
come  against  him.  He  boasted  of  this  to  his  followers,  and  encouraged 
them  to  make  a  valiant  defence,  assuring  them  of  certain  victory.  By 
this  time,  Malcolm  and  Macduff  were  come  as  far  as  Birnam  wood,  and 
lay  encamped  there,  with  their  army.  The  next  morning,  when  they 
were  to  march  across  the  broad  valley,  to  attack  the  castle  of  Dunsinane, 
Macduff  advised  that  every  soldier  should  cut  down  a  bough  of  a  tree 
and  carry  it  in  his  hand,  that  the  enemy  might  not  be  able  to  see,  how 
many  men  were  coming  against  them.  Now,  the  sentinel,  who  stood  on 
Macbeth's  castlewall,  when  he  saw  all  these  branches,  which  the  soldiers 
of  Prince  Malcolm  carried,  ran  to  the  King,  and  informed  him,  that  the 
wood  of  Birnam  was  moving  towards  the  castle  of  Dunsinane.  The  King 
at  first  called  him  a  liar,  and  threatened  to  put  him  to  death;  but  when 
he  looked  from  the  walls  himself,  and  saw  the  appearance  of  a  forest, 
approaching  from  Birnam,  he  knew  the  hour  of  his  destruction  was  come. 
His  followers,  too,  began  to  be  disheartened,  and  to  fly  from  the  castle, 
seeing  their  master  had  lost  all  hopes.    Macbeth,  however,  recollected 

20 


—  154   — 

his  own  bravery,  and  sallied  desperately  out,  at  the  head  of  the  few  fol- 
lowers, who  remained  faithful  to  him.  He  was  killed  after  a  furious 
resistance,  fighting  hand  to  hand  with  Macduff,  in  the  thick  of  the  battle. 
Prince  Malcolm  mounted  the  throne  of  Scotland,  and  reigned  long  and 
prosperously.  He  rewarded  Macduff  by  declaring,  that  his  descendant, 
should  lead  the  vanguard  of  the  Scottish  army  in  the  battle,  and  place 
the  crown  on  the  King's  head,  at  the  ceremony  of  coronation.  King  Mal- 
colm also  created  (he  Thanes  of  Scotland,  Earls,  after  the  title  adopted 
in  the  Court  of  England. 


6.  The  Battle  of  Hastings. 

The  English  and  Normans  now  prepared  themselves  for  the  im- 
portant decision;  but  the  aspect  of  things  on  the  night  before  the  battle 
was  very  d'ifferent  in  the  two  camps.  The  English  spent  the  time  in 
riot,  and  jollity,  and  disorder;  the  Normans  in  silence,  and  in  prayer, 
and  in  the  other  functions  of  their  religion.  On  the  morning,  the  duke 
called  together  the  most  considerable  of  his  commanders,  and  made 
them  a  speech  suitable  to  the  occasion.  He  represented  to  them,  that  the 
event  which  they  and  he  had  long  wished  for  was  approaching;  the 
whole  fortune  of  the  war  now  depended  on  their  swords,  and  would  be 
decided  in  a  single  action;  that  never  army  had  greater  motives  for  vig- 
orous courage,  whether  they  considered  the  prize  which  would  attend 
their  victory,  or  the  inevitable  destruction  which  must  ensue  upon  their 
discomfiture;  that  if  their  martial  and  veteran  bands  could  once  break 
those  raw  soldiers,  who  had  rashly  dared  to  approach  them,  they  con- 
quered a  kingdom  at  one  blow,  and  were  justly  entitled  to  all  its  pos- 
sessions as  the  reward  of  their  prosperous  valour:  that,  on  the  contrary, 
if  they  remitted  in  the  least  their  wonted  prowess,  an  enraged  enemy 
hung  upon  their  rear,  the  sea  met  them  in  their  retreat,  and  an  ignomi- 
nious death  was  the  certain  puishment  of  their  imprudent  cowardice: 
that  by  collecting  so  numerous  and  brave  a  host,  he  had  insured  every 
human  means  of  conquest;  and  the  commander  of  the  enemy,  by  his  cri- 
minal conduct,  had  given  him  just  cause  to  hope  for  the  favour  of 
the  Almighty,  in  whose  hands  alone  lay  the  event  of  wars  and  battles: 
and  that  a  perjured  usurper,  anathematized  by  the  sovereign  pon- 
tiff, and  coDsciouvS  of  his  own  breach  of  faith,  would  be  struck  with 


—  155  — 

terror  on  their  appearance,  and  would  prognosticate  to  himself  that  late 
which  his  multiplied  crimes  had  so  justly  merited.  The  duke  next  di- 
vided his  army  into  three  lines;  the  first,  led  by  Montgomery,  consisted 
of  archers  and  light  armed  infantry;  the  second,  commanded  by  Martel, 
was  composed  of  his  bravest  battalions,  heavy  armed,  andranged  inclose 
order:  his  cavalry,  at  whose  head  he  placed  himself  formed  the  third 
line,  and  were  so  disposed,  that  they  stretched  beyond  the  infantry,  and 
flanked  each  wing  of  the  army.  He  ordered  the  signal  of  battle  to  be 
given;  and  the  whole  army,  moving  at  once,  and  singing  the  hymn  or 
song  of  Roland,  the  famous  peer  of  Charlemagne,  advanced,  in  order  and 
with  alacrity,  towards  the  enemy. 

•Harold  had  seized  the  advantage  of  a  rising  ground,  and  having  like- 
wise drawn  some  trenches  to  secure  his  flanks,  he  resolved  to  stand  upon 
the  defensive,  and  to  avoid  all  action  with  the  cavalry,  in  which  he  was 
inferior.  The  Kentish  men  were  placed  in  the  van;  a  post  which  they  had 
always  claimed  as  their  due:  the  Londoners  guarded  the  standard:  and 
the  king  himself,  accompanied  by  his  two  valiant  brothers,  Gurth  and 
Leofwin,  dismounting,  placed  himself  at  the  head  of  his  infantry,  and 
expressed  his  resolution  to  conquer,  or  to  perish  in  the  action.  The 
first  attack  of  the  Normans  was  desperate,  but  was  received  with  equal 
valour  by  the  English,  and  after  a  furious  combat,  which  remained  long 
undecided,  the  former,  overcome  by  the  difficulty  of  the  ground,  and  hard 
pressed  by  the  enemy,  began  first  to  relax  their  vigour,  then  to  retreat; 
and  confusion  was  spreading  among  the  ranks,  when  William,  who  found 
himself  on  the  brink  of  destruction,  hastened  with  a  select  band  to  the 
relief  of  his  dismayed  forces.  His  presence  restored  the  action;  the  Eng- 
lish were  obliged  to  retire  with  loss;  and  the  duke,  ordering  his  second 
line  to  advance,  renewed  the  attack  with  fresh  forces,  and  with  redoubled 
courage.  Finding  that  the  enemy,  aided  by  the  advantage  of  ground,  and 
animated  by  the  example  of  their  prince,  still  made  a  vigorous  resistance, 
he  tried  a  stratagem,  which  was  very  delicate  in  its  management,  but 
which  seemed  advisable  in  his  desperate  situation,  where,  if  he  gained 
not  a  decisive  victory,  he  was  totally  undone:  he  commanded  his  troops 
to  make  a  hasty  retreat,  and  to  allure  the  enemy  from  their  ground  by 
the  appearance  of  flight.  The  artifice  succeeded  against  those  unexperien- 
ced soldiers  who,  heated  by  the  action,  and  sanguine  in  their  hopes, 
precipitately  followed  the  Normans  into  the  plain.  William  gave  orders, 


—  156  — 

that  at  once  tlie  infantry  should  face  about  upon  their  pursuers,  and  the 
cavalry  make  an  assault  upon  their  wings,  and  both  of  them  pursue  the 
advantage,  which  the  surprise  and  terror  of  the  enemy  must  give  them  in 
that  critical  and  decisive  moment.  The  English  were  repulsed  with  great 
slaughter,  and  driven  back  to  the  hill;  where  being  rallied  by  the  brave- 
ry of  Harold,  they  were  able,  notwithstanding  their  loss,  to  maintain 
the  post,  and  continue  the  combat.  The  duke  tried  the  same  stratagem  a 
second  time  with  the  same  sucess;  but  even  after  this  double  advantage, 
he  still  found  a  great  body  of  the  English,  who,  maintaining  themselves 
in  firm  array,  seemed  determined  to  dispute  the  victory  to  the  last  ex- 
tremity. He  ordered  his  heavy-armed  infantry  to  make  an  assault  upon 
them;  while  his  archers,  placed  behind,  should  gall  the  enemy,  ^vho 
were  exposed  by  the  situation  of  the  ground,  and  who  were  intent  on  de- 
fending themselves  against  the  SAVords  and  spears  of  the  assailants.  By 
this  disposition  he  at  last  prevailed:  Harold  was  slain  by  an  arrowy  while 
he  was  combating  with  great  bravery  at  the  head  of  his  men:  his  two 
brothers  shared  the  same  fate:  and  the  English,  discouraged  by  the  fall 
of  those  princes,  gave  ground  on  all  sides,  and  were  pursued  Avith  great 
slaughter  by  the  victorious  Normans.  A  few  troops,  how^ever,  of  the  van- 
quished, had  still  the  courage  to  turn  upon  their  pursuers;  and  attacking 
them  in  deep  and  miry  ground,  obtained  some  revenge  for  the  slaughter 
and  dishonour  of  the  day.  But  the  appearance  of  the  duke  obliged  them 
to  seek  their  safety  by  flight;  and  darkness  saved  them  from  any  further 
pursuit  by  the  enemy. 

Thus  was  gained  by  William,  Duke  of  Normandy,  the  great  and  de- 
cisive victory  of  Hastings,  after  a  battle  which  w^as  fought  from  morning 
till  sunset,  and  which  seemed  worthy,  by  the  heroic  valour  displayed  by 
both  armies,  and  by  both  coramanders,to  decide  the  fate  of  a  mighty  king- 
dom. William  had  three  horses  killed  under  him;  and  there  fell  near  fifteen 
thousand  men  on  the  side  of  the  Normans:  the  loss  was  still  more  consi- 
derable on  that  of  the  vanquished;  besides  the  death. of  the  king  and  his 
two  brothers.  The  dead  body  of  Harold  was  brouhgt  to  William,  and 
was  generously  restored  without  ransom  to  his  mother.  The  Norman  army 
left  not  the  field  of  battle  without  giving  thanks  to  Heaven  in  the  most 
solemn  manner  for  their  victory:  and  the  prince,  having  refreshed  his 
troops,  prepared  to  push  to  the  utmost  his  advantage  against  the  divided, 
dismayed,  and  discomfited  English.  (David  Hume.)

7.   Bold  Robin  Hood. 

The  famous  Robin  Hood,  whose  real  name  was  Robert  Fitzooth,  and 
who  flourished  during  the  reigns  of  Henry  the  Second  and  Richard  Coeur 
de  Lion,  was  born  in  the  town  of  Locksley,  in  Nottinghamshire,  about 
the  year  llfiO.  He  was  a  liandsome  youth,  and  the  best  archer  in  the 
county,  and  regularly  bore  away  the  prizes  at  all  the  archery  meetings, 
being  able  to  strike  a  deer  five  hundred  yards  off.  In  truth,  he  was  just 
fit  to  be  one  of  the  royal  archers,  and  would  no  doubt  have  turned  out 
better,  had  not  his  uncle  been  persuaded  by  the  monks  of  Fountain  Ab- 
bey to  leave  all  his  property  to  the  church;  and  thus  poor  Robin  being 
sent'  adrift  into  the  world,  took  refuge  in  Sherwood  Forest,  where  he 
met  with  several  other  youths  who  had  been  driven  into  the  woods  by 
the  oppression  of  the  Norman  nobles  and  the  great  severity  of  the  forest 
laws.  They  soon  formed  themselves  into  a  band  under  his  leadership, 
and  commenced  leading  the  life  of  outlaws.  Robin  Hood  and  his  men 
adopted  a  uniform  of  Lincoln  green,  with  a  scarlet  cap,  and  each  man 
was  armed  with  a  dagger  and  a  basket-hilted  sword,  and  a  bow  in  his 
hand,  and  a  quiver  slung  on  his  back,  while  the  captain  always  had  a 
bugle  horn  with  him  to  summon  his  followers  about  him. 

One  day,  when  Robin  Hood  set  out  alone,  in  hopes  of  meeting  with 
some  adventure,  he  reached  a  brook,  over  which  a  narrow  plank  was 
laid  to  serve  for  a  bridge,  and,  just  as  he  was  going  to  cross  it,  a  tall 
and  handsome  stranger  appeared  on  the  other  side,  and  as  neither  seemed 
disposed  to  give  way,  they  met  in  the  middle  of  the  bridge. 

«Go  back»,  cried  the  stranger  to  Robin  Hood,  «or  it  will  be  the 
worse  for  you.» 

But  Robin  Hood  laughed  at  the  idea  of  his  giving  way  to  anybody, 
and  proposed  they  should  each  take  an  oak  branch,  and  fight  it  out,  and 
that,  whoever  could  manage  to  throw  the  other  into  the  brook  should 
win  the  day.  Accordingly  they  set-to  in  right  earnest,  and  after  thrash- 
ing each  other  well,  the  stranger  gave  Robin  Hood  a  blow  on  his  head, 
which  effectually  pitched  him  into  the  water.  When  Robin  Hood  had 
waded  back  to  the  bank,  he  put  his  bugle  to  his  lips,  and  blew  several 
blasts  till  the  forest  rang  again,  and  his  followers  came  leaping  from  all 
directions  to  see  what  their  captain  wanted.  When  he  had  fold  them  how 
he  had  been  served  by  the  stranger,  they  would  fain  have  ducked  him, 


—  158  -~ 

but  Robin  Hood,  who  admired  his  bravery,  proposed  to  him  to  join  their 
band. 

«Here*s  my  hand  on  it,»  cried  the  stranger,  delighted  at  the  pro- 
posal, « though  my  name  is  John  Little,  you  shall  find  I  can  do  great 
things, ') 

But  Will  Stutejy,  one  of  Robin's  merrymen,  insisted  upon  it  that  he 
must  be  re-christened.  So  a  feast  was  held,  a  barrel  of  ale  broached, 
and  the  new-comer's  name  was  changed  from  John  Little  to  Little  John, 
which  nick-name,  seeing  that  he  was  near  seven  feet  high,  was  a  per- 
petual subject  for  laughter. 

Not  long  after  this,  as  Robin  Hood  sat  one  morning  by  the  way- 
side, trimming  his  bow  and  arrows,  there  rode  by  a  butcher,  with  a 
basket  of  meat,  who  was  hastening  to  market.  After  bidding  him  good- 
morrow,  Robin  asked  him,  what  he  would  take  for  the  horse  and  the 
basket?  The  butcher,  somewhat  surprised,  answered  he  would  not  care 
to  sell  them  for  less  than  four  silver  marks.  «Do  but  throw  your  greasy 
frock  into  the  bargain, >>  said  Robin,  «and  here's  the  money. 5  Delighted 
at  having  concluded  so  good  a  bargain,  the  butcher  lost  no  time  in  dis- 
mounting and  throwing  oif  his  smock  frock,  which  the  outlaw  instantly 
put  on  over  his  clothes,  and  then  galloped  away  to  Nottingham. 

On  reaching  the  town,  Robin  Hood  put  up  his  horse  at  an  inn,  and 
then  went  into  the  market,  and,  uncovering  his  basket,  began  to  sell  its 
contents  about  five  times  cheaper  than  all  the  other  butchers;  for  Robin 
Hood  neither  knew  nor  cared  about  the  price  usually  paid  for  meat,  and 
it  amused  him  vastly  to  see  his  stall  surrounded  by  customers.  The  other 
butchers  could  not  at  first  understand  why  everybody  flocked  to  purchase 
his  goods  in  preference  to  theirs;  but  when  they  heard  that  he  had  sold 
a  leg  of  pork  for  a  shilling,  they  consulted  together,  and  agreed  that  he 
must  be  some  rich  man's  son  who  was  after  a  frolic,  or  else  a  downright 
madman,  and  that  they  had  better  try  and  learn  something  more  about 
him,  or  else  he  would  ruin  their  business.  So  when  the  market  was  over, 
one  of  them  invited  Robin  Hood  to  dine  with  their  company.  The  sheriff 
of  Nottingham  presided  at  the  head  of  the  table,  while  at  the  other  end 
sat  the  innkeeper.  The  outlaw  played  his  part  as  well  as  the  rest  of  them, 
and,  when  the  dishes  were  removed,  he  called  for  more  wine,  telling 
them  all  to  drink  as  much  as  they  could  carry,  and  he  would  pay  the 
reckoning. 


—  159  — 

The  sheriff  then  turned  to  Robin  Hood,  and  asked  him  whether  he 
had  any  horned  beasts  to  sell;  for  he  was  a  miser,  and  hoped  to  profit 
by  the  new  butcher's  want  of  experience,  and  drive  a  good  bargain  with 
him.  Robin  Hood  replied  he  had  some  two  or  three  hundreds;  whereup- 
on the  sheriff  said  that,  as  he  wanted  a  few  heads  of  cattle,  he  would 
like  to  ride  over  and  look  at  them  that  same  day.  So  Robin  Hood  flung 
down  a  handful  of  silver  on  the  table,  by  way  of  farewell  to  his  aston- 
ished companions,  and  set  out  for  Sherwood  Forest  with  the  sheriff,  who 
had  mounted  his  palfrey,  and  provided  himself  with  a  bag  of  gold  for 
his  purchase.  The  outlaw  was  so  full  of  jokes  and  merriment  as  they 
went  along,  that  the  sheriff  thought  he  had  never  fallen  in  with  a  pleas- 
anter  fellow.  On  a  sudden,  however,  the  sheriff  recollected  that  the 
woods  were  infested  by  Robin  Hood  and  his  band,  and  he  said  to  his 
companion  he  hoped  they  would  not  meet  with  any  of  them;  to  which 
he  only  answered  by  a  long  laugh.  Presently  they  reached  the  forest, 
when  a  herd  of  deer  crossed  their  path.  «How  do  you  like  my  horned 
beasts,  Master  Sheriff?*  inquired  Robin.  «To  tell  you  the  truth»,  replied 
the  sheriff,  «I  only  half  like  your  company,  and  wish  myself  away  from 
hence. »  Then  Robin  Hood  put  his  bugle  to  his  mouth  and  blew  three 
blasts,  when  about  a  hundred  men,  with  Little  John  at  their  head,  im- 
mediately surrounded  them,  and  the  latter  inquired  what  his  master 
wanted.  «I  have  brought  the  Sheriff  of  Nottingham  to  dine  with  us,» 
said  Robin  Hood,  «He  is  welcome, »  quoth  Little  John,  ccand  I  hope  he 
will  pay  well  for  his  dinner.*  They  then  took  the  bag  of  gold  from  the 
luckless  sheriff,  and,  spreading  a  cloak  on  the  grass,  they  counted  out 
three  hundred  pounds,  after  which  Robin  asked  him  if  he  would  like 
some  venison  for  dinner.  But  the  sheriff  told  him  to  let  him  go,  or  he 
would  rue  the  day;  so  the  outlaw  desired  his  best  compliment  to  his 
good  dame,  and  wished  him  a  pleasant  journey  home. 

But  if  Robin  loved  a  joke,  he  often  did  a  good  turn  to  those  who 
needed  his  assistance.  Thus,  he  lent  four  hundred  golden  pounds  to  Sir 
Rychard  o'  the  Lee,  who  had  mortgaged  his  lands  of  Wierysdale  for  that 
sum  to  St.  Mary's  Abbey,  and  who  happened  to  pass  through  Sherwood 
Forest  on  his  way  to  York,  to  beg  the  abbot  to  grant  him  another  year. 
Robin  Hood,  moreover,  bid  Little  John  to  accompany  him  as  his  squire. 
When  they  reached  the  city,  the  superior  was  seated  in  his  hall,  and 
declared  to  the  brethren,   that  if  Sir  Rychard  did  not  appear  before 


—  IBO  - 

sunset  his  lands  would  be  forfeited.  Presently  the  knight  of  Wierysdale 
came  in,  and  pretended  to  beg  for  mercy;  but  the  proud  abbot  spurned 
him,  when  Sir  Rychard  flung  the  gold  at  his  feet  and  snatched  away  the 
deed,  telling  him,  if  he  had  shown  a  little  christian  mercy,  he  should 
not  only  have  returned  the  money,  but  made  a  present  to  the  abbey. 
And  indeed,  the  monks  had  to  rue  their  mercilessness  in  the  end,  as 
Robin  Hood  levied  a  toll  of  eight  hundred  pounds  upon  them  as  they 
once  passed  through  Sherwood  Forest,  which  enabled  him  to  forgive  Sir 
Rychard's  debt,"  when  that  trusty  knight  came  to  discharge  it  at  the  ap- 
pointed time. 

Another  time  as  Robin  Hood  was  roaming  through  the  forest,  he  saw 
a  handsome  young  man,  in  a  very  elegant  suit,  who  was  passing  over 
the  plain,  singing  blithely,  as  he  went.  On  the  following  morning,  he  was 
surprised  to  see  the  same  young  man  coming  along  with  disordered  clothes 
and  dishevelled  hair,  and  sighing  deeply  at  every  step,  and  saying: 
«Alack!  and  well-a-day!»  Robin  Hood  having  sent  one  of  his  men  to 
fetch  him,  inquired  what  lay  so  heavy  on  his  heart,  and  why  he  was  so 
gladsome  yesterday  and  so  sorry  to-day.  The  young  man  puUed  out  his 
purse,  and  showed  him  a  ring,  saying:  «I  bought  this  yesterday  to  marry 
a  maiden  I  have  courted  these  seven  long  years,  and  this  morning  she 
is  gone  to  church  to  wed  another. »  «Does  she  love  you?»  said  Robin. 
«She  has  told  me  so  a  hundred  times, »  answered  Alleu-a-Dale,  fur  such 
was  the  youth's  name.  «Tut  man!  then  she  is  not  worth  caring  for,  if 
she  be  so  fickle! »  cried  Robin  Hood.  «But  she  does  not  love  him,»  in- 
terrupted Allen-a-Dale;  «he  is  an  old  cripple  quite  unlit  for  such  a  lovely 
lass.»  uThen,  why  does  she  marry  him?»  inquired  Robin  Hood.  « Be- 
cause the  old  knight  is  rich,  and  her  parents  insist  upon  it,  and  have 
scolded  and  raved  at  her  tiH  she  is  as  meek  as  a  lamb.;>  «And  where  is 
the  wedding  to  take  place?*  said  Robin.  «At  our  parish,  five  miles  from 
heuce»,  said  Allen,  «and  the  Bishop  of  Hereford,  who  is  the  bridegroom's 
brother,  is  to  perform  the  ceremony. » 

Then  without  more  ado,  Robin  Hood  dressed  himself  up  as  a  harper 
with  a  flowing  white  beard,  and  a  dark  coloured  mantle,  and  bidding 
twenty-four  of  his  men  fuUow  at  a  distance,  he  entered  at  the  church, 
and  took  his  place  near  the  altar.  Presently  the  old  knight  made  his 
appearance,  hobbling  along,  and  handing  in  a  maiden  as  fair  as  day,  aU 
tears  and  blushes,  accompanied  by  her  young  companions  strewing  flow- 


—  161  — 

ers.  «This  is  not  a  fitmatch»,  said  Robin  Hood  aloud,  «and  I  forbid 
the  marriage, »  And  then,  to  the  astonishment  of  the  Bishop  and  of  all 
present,  he  blew  a  blast  on  his  horn,  when  four-and-twenty  archers  came 
leaping  into  the  church-yard,  and  entered  the  building.  Foremost  among 
these  was  Allen-a-Dale,  who  presented  his  bow  to  Robin  Hood.  The 
outlaw  by  this  time  had  cast  off  his  cloak  and  false  beard,  and  turning 
to  the  bride,  said:  «Now,  pretty  one,  tell  me  freely  whom  you  prefer  for 
a  husband— this  gouty  old  knight,  or  one  of  these  bold  young  fellows  ?» 
«Alas!»  said  the  young  maid,  casting  down  her  eyes,  « Allen-a-Dale  has 
courted  me  for  seven  long  years,  and  he  is  the  man  I  would  choose.* 
«Then,  now  my  good  lord  bishop,*  said  Robin,  «prithee  unite  this  lov- 
ing pair  before  we  leave  the  church. »  «That  cannot  be,»  said  the  bishop; 
«the  law  requires  they  should  be  asked  three  times  in  the  church. »  «If 
that  is  all,»  quoth  Robin  Hood,  «we'll  soon  settle  that  matter.*  Then, 
taking  the  bishop's  gown,  he  dressed  Little  John  up  in  it,  and  gave  him 
the  book,  and  bid  him  ask  them  seven  times  in  the  church,  lest  three 
should  not  be  enough.  The  people  could  not  help  laughing,  but  none  at- 
tempted to  forbid  the  bans,  for  the  bishop  and  his  brother  walked  in- 
dignantly out  of  the  church.  Robin  Hood  gave  away  the  maiden,  and  the 
whole  company  had  a  venison  dinner  in  Sherwood  Forest;  and  from  that 
day  Allen-a-Dale  was  a  staunch  friend  to  Robin  Hood  as  long  as  he 
lived 

Robin  Hood  had  often  heard  tell  of  the  prowess  of  a  certain  friar 
Tuck  who,  having  been  expelled  from  Fountain  Abbey  for  his  irregular 
conduct,  lived  in  a  rude  hut  he  had  built  himself  amidst  the  woods,  and 
who  was  said  to  wield  a  quarter-stat!  and  let  fly  an  arrow  better  than 
any  man  inChistendom.  So,  being  anxious  to  see  how  far  this  was  true, 
Robin  set  off  one  morning  for  Fountain's  Dale,  where  he  found  the  friar 
rambling  on  the  bank  of  the  river  Shell.  The  friar  was  a  burly  man  a*t 
least  six  feet  high,  with  a  broad  chest,  and  an  arm  fit  for  a  blacksmith. 
The  outlaw  walked  up  to  him  saying:  « Carry  me  over  this  water,  thou 
brawny  friar,  or  thou  hast  not  an  hour  to  live.»  The  friar  tucked  up  his 
gown  and  carried  him  over  without  a  word;  but  when  Robin  seemed  to 
be  going,  he  cried  out:  «Stop,  my  fine  fellow,  and  carry  me  over  this 
water,  or  it  shall  breed  you  pain.»  Robin  did  so,  and  then  said:  «As 
you  are  double  my  weight,  it  is  fair  I  should  have  two  rides  to  your  one, 
so  carry  me  back  again. »  The  friar  again  took  Robin  on  his  back;  but- 

21 


—  162  — 

OD  reaching  the  middle  of  the  stream  he  pitched  him  into  the  water, 
saying:  «Now,  my  fine  fellow,  let's  see  whether  you'll  sink  or  swim.» 
Robin  swam  to  the  bank,  and  said:  «I  see  you  are  worthy  to  be  my 
match;»  and  then  summoning  his  foresters  by  a  blast  of  his  bugle,  he 
told  the  friar  he  was  Robin  Hood,  and  asked  him  to  join  his  band. 

«If  there's  an  archer  amongst  you  that  can  beat  me  at  the  long  bow, 
then  I'll  be  your  man,))  quoth  Friar  Tuck.  Then  pointing  to  a  hawk  on 
the  wing,  he  added:  «ril  kill  it,  and  he  who  can  strike  it  again  before 
it  falls,  will  be  the  better  man  of  the  two.))  Little  John  accepted  the 
challenge.  The  shafts  flew  off,  and  when  the  dead  bird  was  picked  up, 
it  was  found  that  the  friar's  arrow  had  pinioned  the  hawk's  wings  to  his 
sides,  and  that  Little  John's  had  transfixed  it  from  breast  to  back.  So 
friar  Tuck  owned  himself  outdone,  and  joined  Robert's  merry  men. 

The  whole  country  now  rang  with  Robin  Hood's  lawless  pranks,  when 
one  morning  six  priests  passed  through  Sherwood  Forest,  on  richly  ca- 
parisoned horses,  and  thinking  a  good  prize  Avas  in  the  wind,  the  out- 
laws bid  them  halt,  and  Friar  Tuck  seized  the  bridle  of  the  one  whom  he 
judged  to  be  the  abbot,  and  bid  him  pay  the  toll.  The  abbot  got  down 
and  gave  him  a  cuff  that  made  his  ears  tingle,  and,  flinging  him  on  his 
knees,  plucked  him  by  the  beard.  Quoth  Friar  Tuck:  «Wedonntake  that 
sort  of  coin.»  «But  we  are  going  on  a  message  from  King  Richard,*  said 
the  abbot.  Then  Robin  bid  the  friar  desist  saying:  «God  save  the  King,  and 
confound  all  his  foes!»  «You  are  a  noble  fellow, »  quoth  the  abbot,  «and 
if  you  and  your  men  will  give  up  this  lawless  life  and  become  my  ar- 
chers, you  shall  have  the  king's  pardon. »  He  then  opened  his  gown,  and 
Robin  Hood  and  his  archers,  guessing  at  once  that  Richard  himself  stood 
before  them,  bent  their  knees  to  their  liege  lord,  crying:  «Long  live 
King  Richard! » 

•  So  Robin  Hood  accompanied  the  King  to  London,  followed  by  fifty  of 
his  most  faithful  adherents;  and  here  he  assumed  the  title  of  Earl  of 
Huntingdon;  but  he  soon  grew  tired  of  the  confinement  of  court,  and  ask- 
ed permission  to  revisit  the  woods.  The  King  granted  him  seven  days; 
but  when  once  he  breathed  the  pure  air  of  Sherwood  again,  he  could  not 
tear  himself  away;  and  when  from  old  habit  he  sounded  his  bugle,  he 
was  surprised  to  see  the  signal  answered  by  fourscore  youths.  Little  John 
soon  joined  him,  and  he  again  became  the  leader  of  a  band.  Richard  was 
so  enraged  on  hearing  this,  that  he  sent  two  hundred  soldiers  to  reduce 


I 


—  163  — 

the  rebel,  and  a  desperate  fight  took  place  on  a  plain  in  the  forest,  when 
Robin  Hood  was  wounded  by  an  arrow,  and  removed  to  Kirkley's  Nun- 
nery, where  the  treacherous  prioress  suffered  him  to  bleed  to  death. 
Seeing  his  end  fast  approaching,  he  called  to  Little  John,  and  begged  him 
to  remove  him  to  the  woods,  and  there  poor  Robin  Hood  died  as  he  had 
lived,  beneath  the  green  trees,  and  was  buried  according  to  his  wish. 
The  stone  that  marked  the  spot  bore  the  following  inscription: 

•Here  underneath  this  little  stone 
Lies  Robert,  Eai'l  of  Huntingdon. 
Ne'er  archer  was  as  he  so  good; 
And  people  called  him  Robin  Hood. 
Such  outlaws  as  he  and  his  men 
Will  England  never  see  again." 


8.  Death  and  Character  of  Richard  I. 

Vidomar,  Viscount  of  Limoges,  a  vassal  of  the  king's,  had  found  a 
treasure,  of  which  he  sent  part  to  that  prince  as  a  present.  Richard,  as 
superior  lord,  claimed  the  whole;  and,  at  the  head  of  some  Braban^ons, 
besieged  the  viscount  in  the  castle  of  Chalus,  near  Limoges,  in  order  to 
make  him  comply  with  his  demand.  The  garrison  offered  to  surrender; 
but  the  king  replied,  that  since  he  had  taken  the  pains  to  come  thither 
and  besiege  the  place  in  person,  he  would  take  it  by  force,  and  would 
hang  every  one  of  them.  The  same  day,  Richard,  accompanied  by  Mar- 
cad6e,  leader  of  his  Brabancons,  approached  the  castle  in  order  to  survey 
it;  when  one  Bertrand  de  Gourdon,  an  archer,  took  aim  at  him,  and 
pierced  his  shoulder  with  an  arrow.  The  king,  however,  gave  orders  for 
the  assault,  took  the  place,  and  hanged  all  the  garrison,  except  Gourdon, 
who  had  wounded  him,  and  whom  he  reserved  for  a  more  deliberate  and 
more  cruel  execution. 

The  wound  was  not  in  itself  dangerous;  but  the  unskilfulness  of  the 
surgeon  made  it  mortal:  he  so  rankled  Richard's  shoulder  in  pulling  out 
the  arrow,  that  a  grangrene  ensued,  and  that  prince  was  now  sensible 
that  his  life  was  drawing  towards  a  period.  He  sent  for  Gourdon,  and 
asked  him,  Wretch^  what  have  I  ever  done  to  you^  to  oblige  you  to 
seek  my  life?  —  What  have  you  clone  to  me?  replied  coolly  the  pri- 
soner;   You  killed  with  your   own   hands  my  father  and  my  two 


—  164  — 

brothers;  and  you  intended  to  have  hanged  rr.yself:  I  am  now  in 
your  power ^  and  you  may  take  revenge,  by  inflicting  on  me  the  most 
severe  torments;  but  I  shall  endure  them  all  with  pleasure,  provided 
1  can  think  that  I  have  been  so  happy  as  to  rid  the  world  of  such  a 
w^isance.  Richard,  struck  with  the  reasonableness  of  this  reply,  and 
humbled  by  the  near  approach  Of  death,  ordered  Gourdon  to  be  set  at  li- 
berty, and  a  sum  of  money  to  be  given  him:  but  Marcad^e,  unknown  to 
him,  seized  the  unhappy  man,  flayed  him  alive,  and  then  hanged  him. 
Richard  died  in  the  tenth  year  of  his  reign,  and  the  forty- second  of  his 
age;  and  he  left  no  issue  behind  him. 

The  most  shining  parts  of  this  prince's  character  are  his  military  ta- 
lents. No  man,  even  in  that  romantic  age,  carried  personal  courage  and 
intrepidity  to  a  greater  height;  and  this  quality  gained  him  the  appella- 
tion of  the  lion-hearted,  coeur  de  lion.  He  passionately  loved  glory, 
chiefly  military  glory;  and  as  his  conduct  in  the  field  was  not  inferior  to 
his  valour,  he  seems  to  have  possessed  every  talent  necessary  for  acqui- 
ring it.  His  resentments  also  were  high;  his  pride  unconquerable;  and  his 
subjects,  as  well  as  his  neighbours,  had  therefore  reason  to  apprehend, 
from  the  continuance  of  his  reign,  a  perpetual  scene  of  blood  and  violence. 
Of  an  impetuous  and  vehement  spirit,  he  was  distinguished  by  all  the 
good  as  well  as  the  bad  qualities,  incident  to  that  character;  he  was  open, 
frank,  generous,  sincere,  and  brave;  he  was  revengeful,  domineering, 
ambitious,  haughty,  and  cruel;  and  was  thus  better  calculated  to  dazzle 
men  by  the  splendour  of  his  enterprises,  than  either  to  promote  their  hap- 
piness or  his  own  grandeur,  by  a  sound  and  well-regulated  policy.  As 
military  talents  make  great  impression  on  the  people,  he  seems  to  have 
been  much  beloved  by  his  English  subjects;  and  he  is  remarked  to  have 
been  the  first  prince  of  the  Norman  line  that  bore  any  sincere  regard  to 
them.  He  passed  however  only  four  months  of  his  reign  in  that  kingdom: 
the  Crusade  employed  him  near  three  years;  he  was  detained  about  four- 
teen months  in  captivity;  the  rest  of  his  reign  was  spent  either  in  war, 
or  preparations  for  war,  against  France;  and  he  was  so  pleased  with  the 
fame  which  he  had  acquired  in  the  East,  that  he  determined,  notwith- 
standing his  past  misfortunes,  to  have  further  exhausted  his  kingdom, 
and  to  have  exposed  himself  to  new  hazards,  by  conducting  another  ex- 
pedition against  the  infidels.  (David  Hume.)

9.  Chivalry. 

Chivalry  was  introduced  into  England  under  the  Norman  princes.  Noble 
youths  intended  for  the  profession  of  arms  were  placed,  as  pages  or  va- 
lets, in  the  families  of  great  barons,  where  they  were  instructed  in  the 
rules  of  courtesy  and  politeness,  and  in  martial  exercises.  The  courts  of 
princes  and  barons  became  schools  of  chivalry,  in  which  young  men  were 
taught  dancing,  riding,  hawking,  hunting,  tilting,  and  other  accomplish- 
ments,  to  qualify  them  for  the  honours  of  knighthood.  From  pages  they 
were  advanced  to  the  rank  of  esquires. 

Once  on  a  week  in  Lent,  crowds  of  sprightly  youth,  mounted  on  horse- 
back, rode  into  the  fields  in  bands,  armed  with  lances  and  shields,  and 
exhibited  representations  of  battles.  Many  of  the  young  nobility,  not  yet 
knighted,  issued  from  the  houses  of  their  princes,  bishops,  earls,  and 
barons,  to  make  trial  of  their  skill  and  strength  in  arms.  The  hope  of 
victory  rouses  their  spirits;  their  fiery  steeds  neigh,  prance,  and  champ 
their  foaming  bits.  The  signal  given,  the  sports  begin;  the  youth  di- 
vided into  bands,  encounter  each  other.  Some  flee,  others  pursue  without 
overtaking  them;  while  in  another  quarter,  one  band  overtakes  and  over- 
throws another. 

After  spending  seven  or  eight  years  in  these  schools,  in  the  station 
of  esquires,  these  youths  received  the  honours  of  knighthood,  from  the 
prince  or  baron.  To  prepare  for  this  ceremony,  they  were  obliged  to  sub- 
mit to  severe  fastings,  to  spend  nights  in  prayer  in  a  church,  to  receive 
the  sacrament,  to  bathe  and  put  on  white  robes,  confess  their  sins,  and 
hear  sermons,  in  which  Christian  morals  were  explained.  Thus  prepared, 
the  candidate  went  to  church,  and  advanced  to  the  altar  with  his  sword 
slung  in  a  scarf  about  his  neck.  This  sword  he  presented  to  the  priest, 
who  blessed  and  returned  it.  When  the  candidate  approached  the  person 
who  was  to  perform  the  ceremony,  he  fell  on  his  knees  and  delivered 
him  his  sword. 

The  candidate  having  taken  an  oath,  was  adorned  with  the  armour 
and  ensigns  of  knighthood,  by  the  knights  and  ladies  attending  the  ce- 
remony. First  they  put  on  his  spurs,  beginning  with  his  left  foot;  next 
his  coat  of  mail;  then  his  cuirass;  then  the  armour  for  his  legs,  hands 
and  arms;  and  lastly,  they  girt  on  his  swoord.  Then  the  prince  or  baron 
descended  from  his  throne  or  seat,  and  gave  him  the  accolade,  which 


—  166  — 

was  three  gentle  strokes  with  the  flat  of  his  sword  on  the  shoulder,  or 
with  the  palm  of  his  hand  on  the  cheek,  pronoancing  in  the  name  of  St. 
George,  I  make  thee  a  knight,  be  brave,  hardy  and  loyal. »  The  young 
knight  then  rose,  put  on  his  shield  and  helmet,  mounted  his  horse  without 
the  stirrup,  and  displayed  his  dexterity  in  the  management  of  his  horse, 
amidst  the  acclamations  of  a  multitude  of  spectators. 

(Noah  Webster.) 


10.  Henry  II.  Goiiquest  of  Ireland. 

Ireland  was  at  the  time  of  Henry  II.  nearly  in  the  same  situation  in 
which  England  had  been  after  the  first  invasion  of  the  Saxons.  Its  in 
habitants  had  been  early  converted  to  Christianity;  and,  for  three  or  four 
centuries  after,  possessed  a  very  large  proportion  of  the  learning  of  the 
times:  being  undisturbed  by  foreign  invasions,  and  perhaps  too  poor  to 
invite  the  rapacity  of  conquerors,  they  enjoyed  a  peaceful  life  which 
they  gave  up  to  piety,  and  such  learning  as  was  then  thought  necessary 
to  promote  it.  Of  their  learning,  their  arts,  their  piety,  and  even  their 
polished  manners,  too  many  monuments  remain  to  this  day  for  us  to 
make  the  least  doubt  concerning  them ;  but  it  is  equally  true,  that  in 
time  they  fell  from  these  advantages,  and  their  degenerate  posterity,  at 
the  period  we  are  now  speaking  of,  were  involved  in  the  darkest  barba- 
rity. This  may  be  imputed  to  the  frequent  invasions  which  they  suffered 
from  the  Danes  and  Norwegians,  who  overran  the  whole  country,  and 
every  where  spread  their  ravages,  and  confirmed  their  authority:  the 
natives,  kept  in  the  strictest  bondage,  grew  every  day  more  ignorant 
and  brutal;  and  when  at  last  they  rose  upon  their  conquerors,  and  totally 
expelled  them  from  the  island,  they  wanted  instructors  to  restore  them 
to  their  former  attainments.  Henceforward  they  long  continued  in  the 
most  deplorable  state  of  barbarism.  The  towns  that  had  been  formerly 
built  were  suffered  to  fall  into  ruin;  the  inhabitants  exercised  pasture  in 
the  open  country,  and  sought  protection  from  danger  by  retiring  into  their 
forests  and  bogs.  Almost  all  sense  of  religion  was  extinguished;  the  petty 
princes  exercised  continual  outrages  upon  each  other's  territories;  and 
strength  alone  was  able  to  procure  redress. 


—  167  — 

At  the  time  when  Heury  first  planned  the  invasion  of  the  island,  it 
was  divided  into  five  small  kingdoms,  namely,  Leinster,  Meath,  Mon- 
ster, Ulster,  and  Connaught.  As  it  had  been  usual  for  one  or  other  of  the 
five  kings  to  take  the  lead  in  their  wars,  he  was  denominated  monarch 
of  the  island,  and  possessed  a  power  resembling  that  of  the  early  Saxon 
monarchs  in  England.  Roderic  O'Connor,  king  of  Connaught,  then  en- 
joyed this  dignity,  and  Dermont  M'Morrogh  was  king  of  Leinster.  This 
last-named  prince,  a  weak,  licentious  tyrant,  had  carried  off  and  ravished 
the  daughter  of  the  king  of  Meath,  who,  being  strengthened  by*the  alli- 
ance of  the  king  of  Connaught,  invaded  the  ravisher's  dominions,  and 
expelled  him  from  his  kingdom.  This  prince,  thus  justly  punished,  had 
recourse  to  Henry,  who  was  at  that  time  in  Guienne,  and  offered  to 
hold  his  kingdom  of  the  English  crown,  if  he  should  recover  it  by  the 
king's  assistance.  Henry  readily  accepted  the  offer;  but  being  at  that 
time  embarrassed  by  more  near  interests,  he  only  gave  Dermont  letters 
patent,  by  which  he  empowered  all  his  subjects  to  aid  the  Irish  prince 
in  the  recovery  of  his  dominions.  Dermont,  relying  on  this  authority, 
repaired  to  Bristol,  where,  after  some  difficulty,  he  formed  a  treaty  with 
Richard,  surnamed  Strongbow,  earl  of  Pembroke,  who  agreed  to  rein- 
state him  in  his  dominions,  upon  condition  of  his  being  married  to  his 
daughter  Eva,  and  declared  heir  of  all  his  territory.  He  at  the  same  time 
contracted  for  succours  with  Robert  Fitzstephen  and  Maurice  Fitzgerald, 
whom  he  promised  to  gratify  with  the  city  of  Wexford,  and  the  two 
adjoining  districts,  which  were  then  in  possession  of  the  Easterlings,  or 
descendants  of  the  Norwegians.  Being  thus  assured  of  assistance,  he  re- 
turned privately  to  Ireland,  and  concealed  himself  during  the  winter  in 
the  monastery  of  Femes,  which  he  had  founded.  Robert  Fitzstephen  was 
first  able,  tbe  ensuing  spring,  to  fulfil  his  engagements,  by  landing  with 
thirty  knights,  sixty  esquires,  and  three  hundred  archers.  They  were 
soon  after  joined  by  Maurice  Prendergast,  who,  about  the  same  time, 
brought  over  ten  knights  and  sixty  archers;  and  with  this  small  force 
they  resolved  on  besieging  Wexford,  which  was  to  be  theirs  by  treaty. 
This  town  was  quickly  reduced;  and  the  adventurers,  being  reinforced  by 
another  body  of  men,  to  the  amount  of  a  hundred  and  fifty,  under  the 
command  of  Maurice  Fitzgerald,  composed  an  army  that  struck  the  bar- 
barous natives  with  awe.  Roderic,  the  chief  monarch  of  the  island,  ven- 
tured to  oppose  them,  but  he  was  defeated,  and  soon  after  the  prince 


—  168  — 

of  Ossory  was  obliged  to  submit,  and  give  hostages  for  his  future  con- 
duct, 

Dermont,  being  thus  reinstated  in  his  hereditary  dominions,  soon 
began  to  conceive  hopes  of  extending  the  limits  of  his  power,  and  ma- 
king himself  master  of  Ireland.  With  these  views  he  endeavoured  to 
expedite  Strongbow,  who,  being  personally  prohibited  by  the  king  had 
not  come  over. 

Dermont  tried  to  inflame  his  ambition  by  the  glory  of  the  conquest, 
and  his  avarice  by  the  advantages  it  would  procure:  he  expatiated  on 
the  cowardice  of  the  natives,  and  the  certainty  of  his  success.  Strong- 
bow  first  sent  over  Raymond,  one  of  his  retinue  with  ten  knights  and 
seventy  archers;  and  receiving  permission  shortly  after  for  himself,  he 
landed  with  two  hundred  horse  and  a  hundred  archers.  All  these  English 
forces,  now  joining  together,  became  irresistible,  and  though  the  whole 
number  did  not  amount  to  a  thousand,  yet,  such  was  the  barbarous  state 
of  the  natives,  that  they  were  every  where  put  to  the  rout.  The  city  of 
Waterford  quickly  surrendered;  Dublin  was  taken  by  assault;  and  Strong- 
bow,  marrying  Eva,  according  to  treaty,  became  master  of  the  kingdom 
of  Leinster  upon  Dermont's  decease. 

The  island  being  thus  in  a  manner  wholly  subdued,  for  nothing  was 
capable  of  opposing  the  progress  of  the  English  arms,  Henry  became 
jealous  of  the  success  of  the  adventurers,  and-  was  willing  to  share  in 
person  those  honours  which  they  had  already  secured.  He  therefore 
shortly  after  landed  in  Ireland  (1171)  at  the  head  of  five  hundred  knights 
and  some  soldiers;  not  so  much  to  conquer  a  disputed  territory,  as  to 
take  possession  of  a  subject  kingdom.  In  his  progress  through  the  count- 
ry, he  received  the  homage  of  the  petty  chieftains,  and  left  most  of  them 
in  possession  of  their  ancient  territories.  In  a  place  so  uncultivated  and 
so  ill  peopled,  there  was  still  land  enough  to  satisfy  the  adventurers  who 
had  followed  him;  Strongbow  was  made  seneschal  of  Ireland;  Hugh  de 
Lacey  was  made  governor  of  Dublin,  and  John  de  Courcy  received  a 
patent  for  conquering  the  province  of  Ulster,  which  yet  remained  unsub- 
dued, The  Irish  bishops  very  gladly  admitted  the  English,  as  they  ex- 
pected from  their  superior  civilization  a  greater  degree  of  reverence  and 
respect.  Pope  Adrian  IV.  had,  in  the  beginning,  encouraged  Henry  to 
subdue  the  Irish  by  his  bull,  granting  him  the  kingdom.  Pope  Alexander  III. 
now  confirmed  him  in  his  conquest;  and  the  kings  of  England  were  ac- 


—  169  — 

knowledged  as  lords  over  Ireland  for  ever.  Thus,  after  a  trifling  effort,  in 
which  very  little  money  was  expended,  and  little  bloodshed,  that  beau- 
tiful island  became  an  appendage  to  the  English  crown,  and  as  such  it 
has  ever  since  continued  with  unshaken  fidelity. 

(Oliver  Goldsmith) . 


11.  Magna  Cliarta  (1215). 

The  famous  document  known  to  us  under  the  name  of  Magna  Charta 
was  originally  drawn  up  in  the  reign  of  King  John.  It  professed  to  con- 
tain all  that  was  valuable  in  the  laws  of  Edward  the  Confessor,  and  con- 
sequently in  those  of  Alfred  the  Great;  fur  Edward's  code  was  merely  a 
repetition  and  an  enlargement  of  Alfred's.  The  necessity  for  a  revival  of 
those  laws  arose  from  the  harsh  and  cruel  manner  in  which  the  Norman 
Kings  used  their  power.  They  would  exact  money  from  their  subjects, 
and  give  no  account  of  the  way  in  which  it  was  spent.  They  would 
commit  them  to  prison,  without  showing  any  cause  for  the  act;  and 
even  refuse  them  the  privilege  of  trial  by  jury  ....  These  and  many 
other  wrongs  the  people  were  determined  to  bear  no  longer;  and  to  pre- 
vent John  and  all  his  successors  from  committing  like  injuries  to  the 
people,  the  barons  compiled  a  number  of  laws,  rules,  and  clauses,  which 
together  make  up  the  Magna  Charta.  It  was  signed  by  John,  on  a  little 
island  in  the  Thames,  between  Windsor  and  Staines,  called  Runnymede, 
1215. 

Many  of  its  clauses  related  to  facts  and  circumstances  interesting 
only  to  those  who  lived  in  that  age,  but  some  few  of  them  were  of  so 
much  importance  that  to  this  day  they  are  justly  regarded  as  one  of  the 
most  precious  portions  of  an  Englishman's  birthright  ....  Of  those 
which  bear  that  character,  the  followang  is  the  substance:  1)  No  man 
shall  be  imprisoned  without  just  cause  being  shown.  2)  Eyery  man  com 
mitted  to  prison  shall  have  a  right  to  a  trial  by  a  jury  of  his  peers. 
3)  Taxes  should  not  be  laid  upon  the  people  without  the  consent  of  par- 
liament. 4)  The  courts  of  justice  should  be  stationary,  instead  of  follow- 
ing the  King's  person. 

So  much  importance  did  the  people  attach  to  this  charter,  that  in 
the  course  of  John's  reign,  and  those  succeeding  it,  it  was  solemnly  read 

22 


^—  170  -^ 

and  confirmed  upwards  of  thirty  times;  but  at  length  it  was  found  that 
many  portions  of  it  had  become  so  inqperative,  that  it  was  disregarded 
by  kings,  and  useless  to  the  people.  It  was  subsequently  superseded  by 
the  ((Petition  of  Right*,  presented  to  Charles  I  in  1628. 


12.  Edward  l.'s  Conquest  of  Wales  and  Scotland. 

In  1274  Edward  I.,  and  Eleanor,  his  amiable  and  truly  worthy  queen, 
were  crowned  at  Westminster.  His  virtues  and  talents  had  rendered  him  a 
favourite  of  the  nation.  By  means  of  this  popularity  he  curbed  the  inso- 
lence of  the  barons,  and  by  the  equable  administration  of  justice  he  main- 
tained tranquillity  among  the  people.  Had  not  tlie  love  of  war  and  the 
thirst  of  conquest  counterbalanced  his  good  qiialities,  and  impelled  him 
to  arbitrary  and  cruel  acts,  Edward  I.  would,  probably,  have  been  a  bless- 
ing to  his  subjects.  But  he  too  soon  began,  and  too  long  continued,  the 
career  of  false  glory.  Scarcely  did  he  find  himself  firmly  seated  on  the 
throne,  when  he  determined  to  subdue  Wales,  and  to  tame  the  hitherto 
untameable  fierceness  of  the  descendants  of  the  ancient  Britons. 

Safe  under  the  shelter  of  their  mountains,  and  animated  with  the  love 
of  liberty,  these  aboriginal  inhabitants  of  Britain  had  preserved  themselves 
from  the  yoke  of  the  Saxons,  the  Danes,  and  the  Normans;  but  at  last, 
internal  discord  began  the  process  of  their  subjugation ,  and  the  great  military 
abilities  of  Edward  completed  it.  He  subdued  Wales,  after  a  doubtful  and 
severe  struggle;  annexed  it  to  the  English  crown,  and  determined  that  the 
title  of  Prince  of  Wales  should  be  borne  by  the  eldest  sons  of  his  success- 
ors. It  is  asserted  by  the  most  historians  of  England,  though  denied 
by  some,  that  Edward  commanded  all  the  Welsh  bards  who  could  be  found 
to  be  put  to  death,  lest  by  their  enthusiastic  songs  they  should  rouse  the 
ancient  British  spirit,  and  renew  the  struggle  for  liberty.  Ambition  is  a 
restless,  insatiable  passion.  Seven  years  after  he  had  effected  this  con- 
quest, Edward  proceeded  to  another  still  more  important.  Alexander  III., 
king  of  Scotland,  dying  without  children,  the  crown  was  claimed  by  se- 
veral competitors  among  whom  Bruce  and  Baliol  were  the  principal,  being 
descended  on  the  female  side  from  the  royal  house.  The  flames  of  civil 
war  were  about  to  burst  forth  and  rage.  To  prevent  this,  the  nobles  of 
Scotland  chose  Edward  as  umpire  between  the  rivals.  But  by  this,  they 
brought  upon  their  country  an  evil,  worse  than  that  which  they  wished  to 


—  171  — 

avoid.  The  monarch  of  England  accepted  the  office;  marched  at  the  head 
of  a  powerful  army;  caused  several  fortresses  to  be  put  into  his  hands 
as  pledges  of  obedience  to  his  award;  and  obliged  the  Scotch  barons  to 
acknowledge  him  as  their  liege  lord.  He  then  pronounced  sentence  in 
favour  of  Baliol.  Baliol  soon  found  the  yoke  of  Edward  too  galling  to 
be  borne;  and  making  a  league  with  Philip  le  Bel,  king  of  France,  he 
and  his  countrymen  endeavoured  to  throw  it  off.  This  alliance  had  the  un- 
expected effect  of  giving  political  existence  to  the  common  people  of  Eng- 
land. The  Earl  of  Leicester  had,  indeed,  invited  them  to  send  representa- 
tives to  parliament;  but  the  invitation  of  a  rebel  had  been  but  little  regarded. 
Edward,  surrounded  by  a  factious  nobility,  and  threatened  with  two  wars 
at  once,  perceived  that  he  could  not  hope  for  external  success,  nor  internal 
peace,  unless  the  nation  at  large  were  interested  in  his  favour;  he  ac- 
cordingly, summoned  the  people  to  choose  their  deputies,  in  order  to  give 
their  consent  to  the  imposition  of  taxes,  saying,  «It  is  but  just  that  what 
interests  all,  should  be  approved  of  by  all.» 

With  the  supplies  granted  by  these  representatives  of  the  people,  Ed- 
ward raised  a  large  army,  and  quickly  subdued  the  Scotch,  made  Baliol 
prisoner,  and  sent  him  to  finish  his  days  as  a  private  individual  in  France. 
In  vain  did  Bruce  and  Wallace,  heroic  patriots,  strive  to  resist  the  mighty  • 
power  of  Edward.  They  strove  in  vain;  and  had  the  English  sovereign  go- 
verned the  Scotch  with  equity,  their  union  with  England  would  probably 
have  ta.ken  place  at  that  time.  But  his  governors  exercised  shameful  op- 
pression, and  harassed  the  nation  with  grievous  vexations.  Again  and 
again  did  the  Scotch  rise  against  their  oppressors,  and  sometimes  by  the 
wonderful  valour  of  William  Wallace ,  their  efforts  were  crowned  with 
success.  Yet,  finally,  they  failed;  and  Wallace,  their  noble  hero,  being 
betrayed  into  the  hands  of  Edward,  instead  of  being  treated-  with  that 
respect  which  his  laudable  through  fruitless  efforts  merited,  he  was,  con- 
trary to  all  justice,  executed  as  a  traitor.  Robert  Bruce,  son  of  the  rival 
candidate  with  Baliol  for  the  crown,  then  formed  the  design  of  delivering 
his  country.  He  was  living  in  London,  a  kind  of  prisoner  at  large,  when 
intentions  were  betrayed  to  the  king,  by  Comyn,  a  treacherous  friend. 
Of  this  the  Earl  of  Gloucester  is  said  to  have  warned  Bruce,  by  sending 
him  a  purse  of  gold  and  a  pair  of  spurs.  Though  the  roads  were  covered 
with  snow,  having  caused  his  horse's  shoes  to  be  reversed,  that  he  might 
not  be  tracked,  he  arrived  safely  in  his  own  country,  and  roused  the

Scotch  once  more  to  arms.  At  first,  his  bold  attempt  promised  well,  and 
he  was  crowned  king  of  Scotland  at  Scone.  But  the  scene  soon  changed. 
Three  English  armies  invaded  his  territories  at  the  same  time.  Bruce  was 
defeated,  and  obliged  to  fly  to  concealment  in  one  of  the  smallest  of  the 
western  islands.  His  kinsmen  and  friends  were  taken  prisoners  and  inhu- 
manly massacred;  andEdward ,  whose  indignation  had  now  risen  to  the  high- 
est pitch,  threatening  to  exterminate  the  whole  nation,  marched  early  in  the 
spring  of  Ihe  year  1307  toward.^  the  north,  with  a  most  formidable  force  of 
veteran  soldiers  and  experienced  commanders.  But  death  arrested  him  in 
his  sanguinary  course.  On  the  sands  not  far  from  Charlisle,  he  sank  under 
the  overpowering  influence  of  a  rapid  disease.  The  immediate  view  of 
death  did  not  quell  his  savage  sentiments  of  revenge;  for  just  before  he 
expired,  he  exhorted  his  son  to  complete  his  schemes  of  vengeance,  and 
commanded,  that  his  bones  should  be  carried  in  the  front  of  the  army, 
asserting  that  the  Scotch  would  fly  at  the  mere  sight  of  his  remains.  — 
Edward  had  lived  sixty- eight  years,  and  reigned  thirty-four.  His  stature 
was  majestic,  and  his  whole  figure  commanding.  His  legs  were  long,  out 
of  proportion  to  the  rest  of  his  body;  which  circumstance  gave  him  the 
name  of  Longshauks.  (Holt.) 


13.    R  0  b  e  r  t   B  r  u  c  e. 

The  celebrated  Robert  Bruce  was  crowned  king  of  Scotland,  March 
19-th  1306.  On  the  18-th  of  May,  he  was  excommunicated  by  the 
Pope,  a  sentence  which  excluded  him  from  all  the  benefits  of  religion, 
and  authorised  any  one  to  kill  him.  Finally,  on  the  19-th  June,  the 
new  king  was  completely  defeated  near  Methven  by  the  English  Earl  of 
Pembroke.  Robert's  horse  was  killed  under  him  in  the  action,  and  he 
was  for  a  moment  a  prisoner.  But  he  had  fallen  into  the  power  of  a 
Scottish  knight,  who,  though  he  served  in  the  English  army,  did  not 
choose  to  be  the  instrument  of  putting  Bruce  into  their  hands,  and  allow- 
ed him  to  escape- 
Bruce,  with  a  few  brave  adherents,  among  whom  was  the  young 
Lord  Douglas,  who  was  afterwards  called  the  Good  Lord  James,  retired 
into  the  Highland  mountains,  where  they  were  chased  from  one  place 
of  refuge  to  another,  placed  in  great  danger,  and  underwent  many  hard- 
ships. Bruce's  wife,  now  Queen  of  Scotland,  with  several  other  ladies, 


—  173   — 

accompanied  her  husband  and  his  followers  during  their  wanderings. 
There  was  no  other  way  of  providing  for  them  save  by  hunting  and 
fishing.  It  was  remarked,  that  Donglas  was  the  most  active  and  success- 
ful in  procuring  for  the  unfortunate  ladies  such  supplies  as  his  dexterity 
in  fishing,  or  in  killing  deer  could  furnish  to  them. 

Driven  from  one  place  in  the  Highlands  to  another,  Bruce  endeav- 
oured to  force  his  way  into  Lorn,  but  he  found  enemies  every  where. 
The  M'Doiigal,  a  powerful  family,  then  called  the  Lords  of  Lorn,  were 
friendly  to  the  English,  and  putting  their  men  in  arms,  attacked  Bruce 
and  his  wandering  companions,  as  soon  as  they  attempted  to  enter  their 
country.  The  chief  of  these  M'Dougal,  called  John  of  Lorn,  hated  Bruce 
on  account  of  his  having  slain  the  Red  Comyn  in  the  church  at  Dumfries, 
to  whom  this  M'Dougal  was  nearly  related.  Bruce  was  again  defeated  by 
this  chief,  through  force  of  numbers,  at  a  place  called  Dairy,  but  he 
shewed,  admist  his  misfortunes,  the  greatness  of  his  strength  and  cour- 
age. He  directed  his  men  to  retreat  through  a  narrow  pass,  and  placing 
himself  last  of  the  party,  he  fought  with,  and  slew  such  of  the  enemy 
as  attempted  to  press  hard  on  them.  Three  followers  of  M'Dougal,  a 
father  and  two  sons,  called  M'Androsser,  all  very  strong  men,  when  they 
saw  Bruce  thus  protecting  the  retreat  of  his  followers,  made  a  vow,  that 
they  would  either  kill  him  or  make  him  prisoner.  The  whole  then  rushed 
on  the  king  at  once.  The  king  was  on  horseback,  in  the  strait  pass  we 
have  described,  betwixt  a  steep  hill  and  a  deep  lake.  He  struck  the  first 
man,  who  came  up  and  seized  his  bridle,  such  a  blow  with  his  sword 
as  cut  oif  his  hand  and  freed  his  bridle.  The  man  bled  to  death.  The 
other  brother  had  seized  him  in  the  mean  time  by  the  leg,  and  was 
attempting  to  throw  him  from  horseback.  The  king,  setting  spurs  to  his 
horse,  made  the  animal  suddenly  spring  forward,  so  that  the  Highlander 
fell  under  the  horse's  feet,  and  as  he  was  endeavouring  to  rise  again, 
the  king  cleft  his  head  in  two  with  his  sword.  The  father,  seeing  his 
two  sons  thus  slain,  flew  at  Robert  Bruce,  and  grasped  him  by  the 
mantle  so  close  to  his  body,  that  he  could  not  have  room  to  wield  his 
long  sword.  But  with  the  heavy  pommel,  or,  as  others  say,  with  an 
iron  hammer,  which  hung  at  his  saddle  bow,  the  king  struck  this  third 
assailant  so  dreadful  a  blow,  that  he  dashed  out  his  brains.  Still,  how- 
ever, the  Highlander  kept  his  dying  grasp  on  the  king's  mantle,  so 
that,  to  be  free  of  the  dead  body,  Bruce  was  obliged  to  undo  the  broach 


.      _  174  ~ 

or  clasp,  by  which  it  was  fastened,  and  leave  that  and  the  mantle  itself 
behind  him.  The  broach,  which  fell  thus  into  the  possession  of  M'Dougal 
of  Lorn,  is  still  preserved  in  that  ancient  family  as  a  memorial,  that  the 
celebrated  Robert  Bruce  once  narrowly  escaped  falling  into  the  hands  of 
their  ancestor.  Robert  greatly  resented  this  attack  upon  him;  and  when 
he  was  in  happier  circumstances,  did  not  fail  to  take  his  revenge  on 
M'Dougal,  or,  as  he  is  usually  called,  John  of  Lorn. 

At  last,  dangers  increased  so  much  around  the  brave  King  Robert, 
that  he  was  obliged  to  separate  himself  from  the  ladies  and  his  queen, 
for  the  winter  was  coming  on,  and  it  would  be  impossible  for  the  wo- 
men to  endure  this  wandering  sort  of  life,  when  the  frost  and  the  snow 
should  arrive.  So  he  left  his  queen,  with  the  countess  of  Buchan  and 
others,  in  the  only  castle  which  remained  to  him,  which  was  called 
Kildrummie,  and  is  situated  near  the  head  of  the  river  Don  in  Aberdeen- 
shire. The  king  also  left  the  youngest  brother,  Nigel  Bruce,  to  defend 
the  castle  against  the  English;  and  he  himself,  with  his  second  brother 
Edward,  who  was  a  very  brave  man,  but  still  more  rash  and  passionate 
than  Robert  himself,  went  over  to  an  island  called  Rachrin,  on  the  coast 
of  Ireland,  where  Bruce  and  the  few  men  that  followed  his  fortunes 
passed  the  winter  of  1306.  In  the  meantime,  ill  luck  seemed  to  pursue 
all  his  friends  in  Scotland.  The  castle  of  Kildrummie  was  takeu  by  the 
English,  and  Nigel  Bruce,  a  beautiful  and  brave  youth,  was  cruelly  put 
to  death  by  the  victors.  The  ladies  who  had  attended  on  Robert's  queen, 
as  well  as  the  queen  herself,  and  the  countess  of  Buchan,  were  thrown 
into  strict  confinement,  and  treated  with  the  utmost  severity.  This  news 
reached  Bruce  while  he  was  residing  in  a  miserable  dwelling  at  Rachrin, 
and  reduced  him  to  the  point  of  despair. 

It  was  probably  about  this  time  that  an  incident  took  place,  which, 
although  it  rests  only  on  tradition  in  the  family  of  the  name  of  Bruce, 
is  rendered  probable  by  the  manners  of  the  times.  After  receiving  the 
last  unpleasing  intelligence  from  Scotland,  Bruce  was  lying  one  morning 
on  his  wretched  bed,  and  deliberating  with  himself,  whether  he  had  not 
better  resign  all  thoughts  of  again  attempting  to  make  good  his  right  to 
the  Scottish  crown,  and,  dismissing  his  followers,  transport  himself  and 
his  brothers  to  the  Holy  Laud,  and  spend  the  rest  of  his  life  in  fighting 
against  the  Saracens:   by  which  he  thought,  perhaps,  he  might  deserve 


—  175  — 

the  forgiveness  of  Heaven  for  the  great  sin  of  stabbing  Comyn  in  the 
church  of  Dumfries. 

But  then,  on  the  other  hand,  he  thought  it  would  be  both  criminal 
and  cowardly  to  give  up  his  attempts  to  restore  freedom  to  Scotland, 
while  there  yet  remained  the  least  chance  of  his  being  successful  in  an 
undertaking  which,  rightly  considered,  was  much  more  his  duty,  than 
to  drive  the  Infidels  out  of  Palestine,  though  the  superstition  of  his  age 
might  think  otherwise. 

While  he  was  divided  betwixt  these  reflections,  and  doubtful  of  what 
he  should  do,  Bruce  was  looking  upward  to  the  roof  of  the  cabin  in  which 
he  lay,  and  his  eye  was  attracted  by  a  spider,  which,  hanging  at  the 
end  of  a  long  thread  of  its  own  spinning,  was  endeavouring,  as  is  the 
fashion  of  that  creature,  to  swing  himself  from  one  beam  in  the  roof  to 
another,  for  the  purpose  of  fixing  the  line  on  which  he  meant  to  stretch 
his  web.  The  insect  made  the  attempt  again  and  again,  without  success, 
and  at  length,  Bruce  counted  that  it  had  tried  to  carry  its  point  six  times, 
and  been  as  often  unable  to  do  so.  It  came  into  his  head,  that  he  had 
himself  fought  just  sixt  battles  against  the  English  and  their  allies,  and 
that  the  poor  persevering  spider  was  exactly  in  the  same  situation  with 
himself,  having  made  as  many  trials,  and  been  as  often  disappointed  in 
what  it  aimed  at.  «Now»,  thought  Bruce,  «as  I  have  no  means  of  know- 
ing what  is  best  to  be  done,  I  will  be  guided  by  the  luck  that  shall 
attend  this  spider.  If  the  insect  shall  make  another  effort  to  fix  its  thread, 
and  shall  be  successful,  I  will  venture  a  seventh  time  to  try  my  fortune 
in  Scotland;  but  if  the  spider  shall  fall,  I  will  go  to  the  wars  in  Pales- 
tine, and  never  return  to  my  native  country  again». 

While  Bruce  was  forming  this  resolution,  the  spider  made  another 
exertion  with  all  the  force  it  could  muster;  and  fairly  succeeded  in  fast- 
ening its  thread  on  the  beam  which  it  had  so  often  in  vain  attempted  to 
reach.  Bruce  seeing  the  success  of  the  spider,  resolved  to  try  his  own 
fortune;  and  as  he  never  before  gained  a  victory,  so  he  never  afterwards 
sustained  any  considerable  check  or  defeat.  I  have  often  met  with  people 
of  the  name  of  Bruce,  so  completely  persuaded  of  the  truth  of  this  story, 
that  they  would  not  on  any  account  kill  a  spider,  because  it  was  such 
an  insect,  which  had  shown  the  example  of  perseverance,  and  given  a 
signal  of  good  luck,  to  their  namesake. 


14.  Battle  of  Crecy. 

The  intelligence  of  Edward's  unexpected  invasion  soon  reached  Paris, 
and  threw  Philip  into  great  perplexity.  He  issued  orders,  however,  for 
levying  forces  in  all  quarters;  and  despatched  the  Count  of  Eu,  Constable 
of  France,  and  the  Count  of  Tancarville,  with  a  body  of  troops,  to  the 
defence  of  Caen,  a  populous  and  commercial  but  open  city,  which  lay  in 
the  neighbourhood  of  the  English  army.  The  temptation  of  so  rich  a 
prize,  soon  allured  Edward  to  approach  it;  and  the  inhabitants,  encouraged 
by  their  numbers,  and  the  reinforcements  which  they  daily  received  from 
the  country,  ventured  to  meet  him  in  the  field.  But  their  courage  failed 
them  on  the  first  shock:  they  fled  with  precipitation:  the  Counts  of  Eu 
and  Tancarville  were  taken  prisoners:  the  victors  entered  the  city  along 
with  the  vanquished,  and  a  furious  massacre  commenced,  without  distinc- 
tion of  age,  sex,  or  condition.  The  citizens,  in  despair,  barricadoed  their 
houses,  and  assaulted  the  English  with  stones,  briks,  and  every  missile 
weapon:  the  English  made  way  by  fire  to  the  destruction  of  the  citizens: 
till  Edward,  anxious  to  save  both  his  spoil  and  his  soldiers,  stopped  the 
massacre;  and  having  obliged  the  inhabitants  to  lay  down  their  arms, 
gave  his  troops  licence  to  begin  a  more  regular  and  less  hazardous  plun- 
der of  the  city.  The  pillage  continued  for  three  days:  the  king  reserved 
for  his  own  share  the  jewels,  plate,  silks,  fine  cloth,  and  fine  linen;  and 
he  bestowed  all  the  remainder  of  the  spoil  on  his  army.  The  whole  was 
embarked  on  board  the  ships,  and  sent  over  to  England,  together  with 
three  hundred  of  the  richest  citizens  of  Caen,  whose  ransom  was  an  ad- 
ditional profit,  which  he  expected  afterwards  to  levy.  This  dismal  scene 
passed  in  the  presence  of  two  cardinal  legates,  who  had  come  to  nego- 
ciate  a  peace  between  the  kingdoms. 

The  king  moved  next  to  Rouen,  in  hopes  of  treating  that  city  in  the 
same  manner;  but  found  that  the  bridge  over  the  Seine  was  already  bro- 
ken down,  and  that  the  King  of  France  himself  was  arrived  there  with 
his  army.  He  marched  along  the  banks  of  that  river  towards  Paris,  de- 
stroying the  whole  country,  and  every  town  and  village  which  he  met 
with  on  his  road.  Some  of  his  light  troops  carried  their  ravages  even  to 
the  gates  of  Paris;  and  the  royal  palace  of  St.  Germains,  together  with 
Nanterre,  Ruelle,  and  other  villages,  was  reduced  to  ashes  within  sight 
of  the  capital.  The  English  intended  to  pass  the  river  at  Poissy,  but 
found  the  French  army  encamped  on  the  opposite  banks,  and  the  bridge 


-~  177  — 

at  that  place  as  well  as  all  others  over  the  Seine,  broken  down  by  or- 
ders from  Philip.  Edward  now  saw  that  the  French  meant  to  enclose 
him  in  their  country,  in  hopes  of  attacking  him  with  advantage  on  all 
sides:  but  he  saved  himself  by  a  stratagem  from  this  perilous  situation. 
He  gave  his  army  orders  to  dislodge,  and  to  advance  further  up  the 
Seine;  but  immediately  returning  by  the  same  road,  he  arrived  atPoissy, 
which  the  enemy  had  already  quitted  in  order  to  attend  his  motions.  He 
repaired  the  bridge  with  incredible  celerity,  passed  over  his  army,  and 
having  thus  disengaged  himself  from  the  enemy,  advanced  by  quick  march- 
es towards  Flanders.  His  vanguard,  commanded  by  Harcourt,  met  with 
the  townsmen  of  Amiens,  who  were  hastening  to  reinforce  their  king, 
and  defeated  them  with  great  slaughter:  he  passed  by  Beauvais,  and 
burned  the'  suburbs  of  that  city:  but  as  he  approached  the  Somme,  he 
found  himself  in  the  same  difficulty  as  before :  all  the  bridges  on  that 
river  were  either  broken  down  or  strongly  guarded:  an  army,  under  the 
command  of  Godemar  de  Faye,  was  stationed  on  the  opposite  banks : 
Philip  was  advancing  on  him  from  the  other  quarter,  with  an  army  of  a 
hundred  thousand  men:  and  he  was  thus  exposed  to  the  danger  of  being 
enclosed,  and  of  starving  in  an  enemy's  country.  In  this  extremity  he 
published  a  reward  to  any  one  that  should  bring  him  intelligence  of  a 
passage  over  the  Somme.  A  peasant,  called  Gobin  Agace,  whose  name 
has  been  preserved  by  the  share  which  he  had  in  these  important  trans- 
actions, was  tempted,  on  this  occasion,  to  betray  the  interests  of  his 
country;  and  he  informed  Edward  of  a  ford  below  Abbeville,  which  had  a 
sound  bottom,  and  might  be  passed  without  difficulty  at  low  water.  The 
king  hastened  thither,  but  found  Godemar  de  Faye  on  the  opposite  banks. 
Being  urged  by  necessity,  he  deliberated  not  a  moment;  but  threw  him- 
self into  the  river,  sword  in  hand,  at  the  head  of  his  troops;  drove  the 
enemy  from  their  station;  and  pursued  them  to  a  distance  on  the  plain. 
The  French  army  under  Philip  arrived  at  the  ford,  when  the  rear- guard 
of  the  English  were  passing.  So  narrow  was  the  escape  which  Edward, 
by  his  prudence  and  celerity,  made  from  this  danger !  The  rising  of  the 
tide  prevented  the  French  king  from  following  him  over  the  ford,  and 
obliged  that  prince  to  take  his  route  over  the  bridge  at  Abbeville;  by 
which  some  time  was  lost. 

It  is  natural  to  think  that  Philip,  at  the  head  of  so  vast  an  army, 
was  impatient  to  take  revenge  on  the  English,  and  to  prevent  the  dis- 

23 


—  178  — 

grace  to  which  he  must  be  exposed,  if  an  inferior  enemy  should  be  al- 
lowed, after  ravaging  so  great  a  part  of  his  kingdom,  to  escape  with  im- 
punity. Edward  also  was  sensible  that  such  must  be  the  object  of  the 
French  monarch ;  and  as  he  had  advanced  but  a  little  way  before  his 
enemy,  he  saw  the  danger  of  precipitating  his  march  over  the  plains  of 
Picardy,  and  of  exposing  his  rear  to  the  insults  of  the  numerous  cavalry, 
in  which  the  French  camp  abounded.  He  took,  therefore,  a  prudent  re- 
solution: he  chose  his  ground  with  advantage,  near  the  village  of  Crecy; 
he  disposed  his  army  in  excellent  order;  he  determined  to  await  in  tran- 
quillity the  arrival  of  the  enemy;  and  he  hoped  that  their  eagerness  to 
engage,  and  to  prevent  his  retreat,  after  all  their  past  disappointments, 
would  hurry  them  on  to  some  rash  and  ill  concerted  action.  He  drew  up 
his  army  on  a  gentle  ascent,  and  divided  them  into  three  lines:  the  first 
was  commanded  by  the  Prince  of  Wales,  and  under  him,  by  the  Earls  of 
Warwick  and  Oxford,  by  Harcourt,  and  by  the  Lords  Chandos,  Holland, 
and  other  noblemen:  the  Earls  of  Arundel  and  Northampton,  with  the 
Lords  Willoughby,  Basset,  Roos,  and  Sir  Lewis  Tufton,  were  at  the  head 
of  the  second  line:  he  took  to  himself  the  command  of  the  third  division, 
by  which  he  purposed  either  to  bring  succour  to  the  two  first  lines,  or  to 
secure,  a  retreat  in  case  of  any  misfortune,  or  to  push  his  advantages 
against  the  enemy.  He  had  likewise  the  precaution  to  throw  up  trenches 
on  his  flanks,  in  order  to  secure  himself  from  the  numerous  bodies  of 
the  French,  who  might  assail  him  from  that  quarter;  and  he  placed  all 
his  baggage  behind  him  in  a  wood,  which  he  also  secured  by  an  in- 
trenchment. 

The  skill  and  order  of  this  dispositon,  with  the  tranquillity  in  which 
it  was  made,  served  extremely  to  compose  the  minds  of  the  soldiers;  and 
the  king,  that  he  might  further  inspirit  them,  rode  through  the  ranks 
with  such  an  air  of  cheerfulness  and  alacrity,  as  conveyed  the  highest 
confidence  into  every  beholder.  He  pointed  out  to  them  the  necessity  to 
which  they  were  reduced,  and  the  certain  and  inevitable  destruction  which 
awaited  them,  if,  in  their  present  situation,  enclosed  on  all  hands  in  an 
enemy's  country,  they  trusted  to  any  thing  bjjt  their  own  valour,  or  gave 
that  enemy  an  opportunity  of  taking  revenge  for  the  many  insults  and 
indignities  which  they  had  of  late  put  upon  him.  He  reminded  them  of 
the  visible  ascendant  wliich  they  had  hitherto  maintained  over  all  the 
bodies  of  French  troops,  that  had  fallen  in  their  way; and  assured  them, 


—  179  — 

that  the  superior  numbers  of  the  army  which  at  present  hovered  over 
them,  gave  them  not  greater  force,  but  was  an  advantage  easily  compen- 
sated by  the  order  in  which  he  had  placed  his  own  army,  and  the  reso- 
lution which  he  expected  from  them.  He  demanded  nothing,  he  said, 
but  that  they  would  imitate  his  own  example,  and  that  of  the  Prince  of 
Wales;  and  as  the  honour,  the  lives,  the  liberties  of  all  were  now  ex- 
posed to  the  same  danger,  he  was  confident  that  they  would  make  one 
common  effort  to  extricate  themselves  from  the  present  difficulties,  and 
that  their  united  courage  would--  give  them  the  victory  over  all  their 
enemies. 

It  is  related  by  some  historians,  that  Edward,  besides  the  resources 
which  he  found  in  his  own  genius  and  presence  of  mind,  employed  also 
a  new  invention  against  the  enemy,  and  placed  in  his  front  some  pieces 
of  artillery,  the  first  that  had  yet  been  made  use  of  on  any  remarkable 
occasion  iu  Europe.  This  is  the  epoch  of  one  of  the  most  singular  disco- 
veries that  has  been  made  among  men;  a  discovery  which  changed  by 
degrees  the  whole  art  of  war,  and  by  consequence  many  circumstances 
in  the  political  government  of  Europe.  But  the  ignorance  of  that  age  in 
the  mechanical  arts  rendered  the  progress  of  this  new  invention  very 
slow.  The  artillery  first  framed  were  so  clumsy,  and  of  so  difficult  ma- 
nagement, that  men  were  not  immediately  sensible  of  their  use  and  effi- 
cacy: and'even  to  the  present  times,  improvements  have  been  continually 
making  on  this  furious  engine,  which,  though  it  seemed  contrived  for  the 
destruction  of  mankind,  and  the  overthrow  of  empires,  has  in  the  issue 
rendered  battles  less  bloody,  and  has  given  greater  stability  to  civil  socie- 
ties. Nations  by  its  means  have  been  brought  more  to  a  level:  conquests 
have  become  less  frequent  and  rapid :  success  in  war  has  been  reduced 
nearly  to  be  a  matter  of  calculation:  and  any  nation  overmatched  by  its 
enemies,  either  yields  to  their  demands,  or  secures  itself  by  alliances 
against  their  violence  and  invasion. 

The  invention  of  artillery  was  at  this  time  known  in  France  as  well 
as  in  England;  but  Philip  in  his  hurry  to  overtake  the  enemy,  had  pro- 
bably left  his  cannon  behind  him,  which  he  regarded  as  a  useless  en- 
cumbrance. All  his  other  movements  discovered  the  same  imprudence  and 
precipitation.  Impelled  by  anger,  a  dangerous  counsellor,  and  trusting  to 
the  great  superiority  of  his  numbers,  he  thought  that  all  depended  on 
forcing  an  engagement  with  the  English;  and  that,  if  he  could  once  reach 


—  180  — 

the  enemy  in  their  retreat,  the  victory  on  his  side  was  certain  and  in- 
evitable. He  made  a  hasty  march,  in  some  confusion,  from  Abbeville; 
but  after  he  had  advanced  above  two  leagues,  some  gentlemen,  whom  he 
had  sent  before  to  take  a  view  of  the  enemy,  returned  to  him,  and 
brought  him  intelligence,  that  they  had  seen  the  English  drawn  up  in 
great  order,  and  awaiting  his  arrival.  They  therefore  advised  him  to  de- 
fer the  combat  till  the  ensuing  day,  when  his  army  would  have  recovered 
from  their  fatigue,  and  might  be  disposed  into  better  order  than  their 
present  hurry  had  permitted  them  to  observe.  Philip  assented  to  this 
counsel;  but  the  former  precipitation  of  his  march,  and  the  impatience  of 
the  French  nobility,  made  it  impracticable  for  him  to  put  it  in  execution. 
One  division  pressed  upon  another:  orders  to  stop  were  not  seasonably 
conveyed  to  all  of  them;  this  immense  body  was  not  governed  by  suffi- 
cient discipline  to'be  manageable:  and  the  French  army,  imperfectly  form- 
ed into  three  lines,  arrived,  already  fatigued  and  disordered,  in  pre- 
sence of  the  enemy,  The  first  line,  consisting  of  i 5,000  Genoese  cross- 
bow men,  was  commanded  by  Anthony  Doria  and  Charles  Grimaldi:  the 
second  was  led  by  the  Count  of  Alencon,  brother  to  the  king:  the  king 
himself  was  at  the  head  of  the  third.  Besides  the  French  monarch,  there 
were  no  less  than  three  crowned  heads  in  this  engagement:  the  King  of 
Bohemia,  the  King  of  the  Romans,  his  son,  and  the  King  of  Majorca; 
with  all  the  nobility  and  great  vassals  of  the  crown  of  France.  The  army 
now  consisted  of  above  120,000  men,  more  than  three  times  the  num- 
ber of  the  enemy.  But  the  prudence  of  one  man  was  superior  to  the  ad- 
vantage of  all  this  force  and  splendour. 

The  English,  on  the  approach  of  the  enemy,  kept  their  ranks  firm 
and  immovable;  and  the  Genoese  first  began  the  attack.  There  had  hap- 
pened, a  little  before  the  engagement,  a  thunder  shower,  which  had  moist- 
ened and  relaxed  the  strings  of  the  Genoese  crossbows;  their  arrows, 
for  this  reason,  fell  short  of  the  enemy.  The  English  archers,  taking 
their  bows  out  of  their  cases,  poured  in  a  shower  of  arrows  upon  this 
multitude  who  were  opposed  to  them,  and  soon  threw  them  into  dis- 
order. The  Genoese  fell  back  upon  the  heavy-armed  cavalry  of  the  Count 
of  Alencon;  who,  enraged  at  their  cowardice,  ordered  his  troops  to  put 
them  to  the  sword.  The  artillery  fired  amidst  the  crowd;  the  English 
archers  continued  to  send  in  their  arrows  among  them;  and  nothing  was 
to  be  seen  in  that  vast  body  but  hurry  and  confusion,  terror  and  dismay. 


—  181  — 

The  young  Prince  of  Wales  had  the  presence  of  mind  to  take  advantage 
of  this  situation,  and  to  lead  on  his  line  to  the  charge.  The  French  ca- 
valry, however,  recovering  somewhat  their  order,  and  encouraged  hy  the 
example  of  their  leader,  made  a  stout  resistance;  and  having  at  last  clear- 
ed themselves  of  the  Genoese  runaways,  advanced  upon  their  enemies, 
and  by  their  superior  numbers  began  to  hem  them  round.  The  Earls  of 
Arundel  and  Northampton  now  advanced  their  line  to  sustain  the  prince, 
who,  ardent  in  his  first  feats  of  arms,  set  an  exemple  of  valour  which 
was  imitated  by  all  his  followers.  The  battle  became,  for  some  time,  hot 
and  dangerous,  and  the  Earl  of  Warwick,  apprehensive  of  the  event  from 
the  superior  numbers  of  the.  French,  despatched  a  messenger  to  the  king, 
and  entreated  him  to  send  succours  to  the  relief  of  the  prince.  Edward 
had  chosen  his  station  on  the  top  of  the  hill;  and  he  surveyed  in  tran- 
quillity the  scene  of  action.  When  the  messenger  accosted  him,  his  first 
question  was,  whether  the  prince  were  slain  or  wounded?  On  receiving 
an  answer  in  the  negative,  Return,  said  he,  to  my  son,  and  tell  him, 
that  I  reserve  the  honour  of  the  day  to  him:  I  am  confident  that  he 
will  show  himself  worthy  of  the  honour  of  knighthood  which  I  so 
lately  conferred  upon  him:  he  will  be  able,  without  any  assistance ^ 
to  repel  the  enemy.  This  speech,  being  reported  to  the  prince  and  his 
attendants,  inspired  them  with  fresh  courage:  they  made  an  attack  with 
redoubled  vigour  on  the  French,  in  which  the  Count  of  Alencon  was  slain: 
that  whole  line  of  cavalry  was  thrown  into  disorder:  the  riders  were  kill- 
ed or  dismounted:  the  Welsh  infantry  rushed  into  the  throng,  and  with 
their  long  knives  cut  the  throats  of  all  who  had  fallen;  nor  was  any  quar- 
ter given  that  day  by  the  victors. 

The  King  of  France  advanced  in  vain  with  the  rear  to  sustain  the  line 
commanded  by  his  brother:  he  found  them  already  discomfited;  and  the 
example  of  their  rout  increased  the  confusion  which  was  before  but  too 
prevalent  in  his  own  body.  He  had  himself  a  horse  killed  under  him: -he 
was  remounted;  and  though  left  almost  alone,  he  seemed  still  determined 
to  maintain  the  combat;  when  John  of  Hainault  seized  the  reins  of  his 
bridle,  turned  about  his  horse,  and  carried  him  off  the  field  of  battle. 
The  whole  French  army  took  to  flight,  and  was  followed  and  put  to  the 
sword,  without  mercy,  by  the  enemy;  till  the  darkness  of  the  night  put 
an  end  to  the  pursuit.  The  King,  on  his  return  to  the  camp,  flew  into 
the  arms  of  the  Prince  of  Wales,  and  exclaimed.  My  brave  son!  Per- 


—  182   - 

severe  in  pour  honourable  course:  You  are  my  son;  for  valiantly 
have  you  acquitted  yourself  to-day:  You  have  shown  yourself  worthy 
of  empire/ 

This  battle,  which  is  known  by  the  name  of  the  battle  of  Crecy,  began 
after  three  o'clock  in  the  afternoon,  and  continued  till  evening.  The  next 
morning  was  foggy;  and  as  the  English  observed  that  many  of  the  enemy 
had  lost  their  way  in  the  neight  and  in  the  mist,  they  employed  a  stra- 
tagem to  bring  them  into  their  power :  they  erected  on  the  eminences 
some  French  standards  which  they  had  taken  in  the  battle;  and  all  who 
were  allured  by  this  false  signal  were  put  to  the  sword,  and  no  quarter 
given  them.  In  excuse  for  this  inhumanity,  it  was  alleged  that  the  French 
king  had  given  like  orders  to  his  troops;  but  the  real  reason  probably  was, 
that  the  English,  in  their  present  situation,  did  not  choose  to  be  encum- 
bered with  prisoners.  On  the  day  of  battle  and  on  the  ensuing,  there 
fell,  by  a  moderate  computation,  1200  French  knights,  1400  gentlemen, 
4000  men  at  arms,  besides  about  30,000  of  inferior  rank:  many  of  the 
principal  nobility  of  France,  the  Dukes  of  Lorraine  and  Bourbon,  the 
Earls  of  Flanders,  Blois,  Vaudemont,  Aumale,  were  left  on  the  field  of 
battle.  The  kings  also  of  Bohemia  and  Majorca  were  slain:  the  fate  of  the 
former  was  remarkable:  he  was  blind  from  age;  but  being  resolved  to 
hazard  his  person,  and  set  an  example  to  others,  he  ordered  the  reins  of 
his  bridle  to  be  tied  on  each  side  to  the  horses  of  two  gentlemen  of  his 
train;  and  his  dead  body,  and  those  of  his  attendants,  were  afterwards 
found  among  the  slain,  with  their  horses  standing  by  them  in  that  situa- 
tion. His  crest  was  three  ostrich  feathers,  and  his  motto  these  German 
words,  Ich  dien,  I  serve:  which  the  Prince  of  Wales  and  his  successors 
adopted  in  memorial  of  this  great  victory.  The  action  may  seem  no  less 
remarkable  for  the  small  loss  sustained  by  the  English  than  for  the  great 
slaughter  of  the  French;  there  were  killed  in  it  only  one  esquire  and 
three  knights,  and  very  few  of  inferior  rank;  a  demonstration,  that 
the  prudent  disposition  planned  by  Edward,  and  the  disorderly  attack 
made  by  the  French,  had  rendered  the  whole  rather  a  rout  than  battle; 
which  was  indeed  the  common  case  with  engagements  in  those  times.

15.  The  War  of  Roses. 

As  Henry  VI.  advanced  in  years,  he  manifested  a  mild  and  gentle  dispo- 
sition, but  an  utter  incapacity  for  steering  the  vessel  of  the  state  through 
the  waves  of  a  stormishsea.  By  the  influence  of  the  Earl  of  Suifolk,  an  am- 
bitious and  unprincipled  man,  Henry  married  Margaret,  daughter  of  R6n6, 
of  Anjou,  titular  king  of  Naples,  a  woman  of  great  energy  of  mind,  and 
unbounded  love  of  power,  who,  consequently,  governed  him  with  absolute 
sway  .The  enthusiasm,  excited  in  the  French  nation  by  Joan  of  Arc,  who  ima- 
gined herself  to  be  commissioned  by  the  Almighty  to  deliver  her  country 
from  a  foreign  yoke,  of  which  Charles  and  his  commanders  skilfully  made 
use  —  the  disputes  which  took  place  among  the  English  captains;  and 
the  defection  of  the  Duke  of  Burgundy,  together  with  the  loss  of  Talbot, 
the  illustrious  Earl  of  Shrewsbury,  and  several  other  brave  warriors,  gra- 
dually transferred  the  conquests  made  by  Henry  V.,  to  their  lawful  pos- 
sessors. The  nation  murmured;  the  barons  quarrelled  with  one  another, 
till  at  last  blazed  forth  that  dreadful  flame  of  civil  war  which  raged  for 
thirty  years  —  produced  twelve  pitched  battles  —  sacrificed  upwards  of 
one  hundred  thousand  lives  —  and  nearly  destroyed  the  ancient  nobility 
of  England. 

Richard,  Duke  of  York,  was  descended ,  by  the  female  line,  from 
Lionel,  the  second  son  of  Edward  III.,  and  was,  therefore,  nearer  the 
throne,  in  regular  succession,  than  Henry  VI.,  who  derived  his  descent 
from  the  Duke  of  Lancaster,  the  third  son  of  that  mighty  monarch. 
Richard  was  endowed  with  considerable  abilities,  great  valour,  and  po- 
pular qualities.  His  party  was  sustained  by  the  Earl  of  Salisbury  and  the 
Earl  of  Warwick,  the  most  potent  baron  and  formidable  warrior  of  his 
age.  The  Lancastrian  cause  was  espoused  by  the  Dukes  of  Suffolk  and 
Somerset,  the  Earl  of  Northumberland,  Clifford,  and  many  other  famous 
nobles.  The  latter  assumed  the  red  rose  as  their  emblem,  while  the 
Yorkists  adopted  the  while  rose  as  the  sign  of  their  faction.  Various 
were  the  changes  of  fortune,  which  took  place  in  these  unhappy  and  most 
destructive  dissensions.  Henry  was  alternately  in  the  hands  of  both  par- 
ties, and  by  each  played  as  a  mere  puppet.  His  queen  Margaret  mani- 
fested astonishing  activity  and  fortitude,  but  disgraced  by  cruel  and  im- 
placable revenge.  The  Duke  of  York  himself  perished  in  the  conflict  with 
his  youthful  son,  the  Duke  of  Rutland;  but  Warwick  and  the  other  sons  of 


.        —  184  --  .^ 

York  sustained  their  cause.  Edward,  the  eldest  son  of  Richard,  was  crown- 
ed at  London,  under  the  title  of  Edward  IV.  Henry,  captive  for  the  third 
time,  was  lodged  in  the  Tower  of  London.  Margaret  and  his  son  took 
refuge  in  France.  To  all  appearances,  the  struggle  was  now  over;  hut  it 
proved  to  be  not  so.  Another  storm  was  raised  by  pride  and  anger,  which 
produced  another  change.  Warwick  was  sent  by  Edward  to  the  French 
Court,  to  demand  for  him  in  marriage  Bona  of  Savoy,  the  sister-in-law 
of  Louis  XI.  The  illustrious  envoy  succeeded  in  his  commission,  and  ob- 
tained the  Princess.  But  in  the  intervening  time,  the  capricious  Edward 
had  espoused  and  crowned  a  beautiful  and  accomplished  woman,  daughter 
of  the  Duchess  of  Bedford,  and  widow  of  Sir  John  Grey.  This  imprudent 
act  naturally  displeased  the  French  monarch,  and  filled  the  high  spirited 
Warwick  with  indignation.  This,  however,  he  concealed  in  his  own  bosom 
for  some  years,  till  he  found  an  opportunity  of  displaying  it  effectually. 
George,  Duke  of  Clarence,  one  of  Edward's  brothers,  being  prevented 
by  him  from  marrying  a  rich  heiress,  who  was  given  to  the  queen's  bro- 
ther, was  impelled,  by  the  rage  of  disappointment,  to  an  open  rupture 
with  the  king;  and  with  him  Warwick  united.  Their  firsts  movements 
were  unsuccessful.  They  were  obliged  to  fly  to  France:  where  the  desire 
of  vengeance  reconciled  them  to  Queen  Margaret.  Louis  furnished  them 
with  troops,  vessels,  and  money.  Warwick  arrived  in  safety  at  Dart- 
mouth; declared  himself  the  avenger  of  the  house  of  Lancaster;  and  soon 
saw  himself  at  the  head  of  sixty  thousand  men.  Taken  by  surprise,  and 
unable  to  resist  such  a  torrent,  Edward  fled  into  Holland,  after  having 
narrowly  escaped  being  taken  prisoner.  Henry  VI.  was  released  from  the 
Tower,  and,  for  the  fourth  time,  reseated  on  the  throne.  But  the  unfortu- 
nate sovereign  did  not  remain  long  in  that  dangerous  situation.  Edward 
returned  with  a  small  force,  furnished  for  him  by  his  ally,  the  Duke  of 
Burgundy.  Landing  in  Yorkshire,  the  adherents  to  his  cause  crowded  to 
his  standard  by  thousands;  he  led  them  to  London,  and  was  well  received 
in  that  city.  At  length  the  hostile  armies  met  near  Barnet,  and  a  san- 
guinary battle  took  place.  In  the  heat  of  the  fight  the  fickle  Duke  of  Cla- 
rence went  over  to  his  brother  with  the  body  of  men  which  he  command- 
ed; and  Warwick,  wo  had  been  styled  the  king-maker,  was  slain.  In 
another  battle  near  Tewkesbury,  the  unhappy  Margaret  vainly  endeavoured 
to  support  her  falling  cause.  The  Lancastrians  were  again  defeated;  their 
leader,  the  Duke  of  Somerset,  was  slain;  and  the  queen,  with  her  son 


—  185  — 

ft 

Edward,  a  high-minded  and  gallant  young  prince,  fell  into  the  power  of 
the  victors,  who  cruelly  murdered  the  latter,  and  kept  the  former  in  cap- 
tivity, till  she  was  ransomed  by  the  king  of  France.  Almost  all  the  friends 
of  the  Lancastrian  family  had  now  perished  in  battle  or  on  the  scaffold. 
Henry  VI.  did  not  long  survive  his  irremediable  misfortunes.  After  a 
miserable  reign  of  fifty  two  years  he  died  in  the  Tower,  A.  D.  1472; — 
according  to  most  English  historians,  assassinated  by  Richard,  Duke  of 
Gloucester,  the  valiant,  fierce,  and  pitiless  brother  of  Edward  IV. 

Edward  IV.  may  be  regarded  as  being  established  on  the  throne  of 
England,  A.  D.  1472.  A  profound  calm  now  succeeded  the  dreadful 
tempest  which  had  raged  so  long,  and  scattered  desolation  so  widely  from 
its  wings.  Edward  was  remarkable  for  the  beauty  of  his  form,  and  for 
active  valour.  But  there  ends  \m  praise.  He  was  vindictive,  cruel,  and 
shamefully  intemperate,  indulging  all  his  passions,  without  scruple,  or 
limit.  In  him  it  clearly  appeared  that  the  love  of  pleasure  by  no  means 
tends  t!D  soften  the  angry  and  inhuman  feelings.  Though  he  had  appar- 
ently pardoned  Neville,  Archbishop  of  York,  for  having  deserted  him,  he 
sent  him  to  perish  in  prison  in  a  foreign  land.  Though  his  brother  Clar- 
ence, by  deserting  Warwick  in  the  midst  of  the  fight,  had  probably  given 
victory  to  Edward,  yet  mindful  only  of  that  prince's  former  defection,  he 
impeached  him  before  the  parliament  and  procured  his  condemnation  and 
death.  Scarcely  had  he  satisfied  his  thirst  of  revenge,  when  he  yielded 
to  the  temptations  of  ambition,  and  formed  the  project  of  attacking 
France  in  conjunction  with  the  Duke  of  Burgundy.  He  actually  passed 
into  that  country  at  the  head  of  a  formidable  army,  but  not  being  sup- 
ported by  his  ally,  he  accepted  an  annual  tribute  which  Louis  offered  for 
the  sake  of  peace.  In  seven  years  after,  death  delivered  the  world  from 
this  pernicious  monarch,  A.  D.  1483.  He  was  forty  three  years  of  age. 

The  deceased  monarch  left  two  sons  and  six  daughters.  The  eldest 
son,  Edward  V.  was  immediately  acknowledged  as  king  of  England,  but 
as  he  was  only  thirteen  years  old,  Richard,  Duke  of  Gloucester,  his 
uncle,  governed  under  his  name  as  Protector.  This  ambitious  and  crafty 
man  gradually  gained  possession  of  the  supreme  power,  and  destroyed 
his  rivals  and  opponents,  the  relations  of  the  queen.  He  seized  the  per- 
son of  the  young  sovereign,  and  of  his  brother,  Richard,  Duke  of  York, 
and  under  pretext  of  securing  them  from  sudden  violence,  placed  them 
in  the  Tower.    Afterwards  he  caused  reports  of  their  illegitimacy  to  be 

24 


—  186  — 

spread,  asserting  that  the  late  king  was  married  to  another  woman,  when 
he  took  Elizabeth  Grey  to  wife;  and  that  he  himself  was  the  only  lawful 
heir  of  the  crown.  Endeavouring  to  engage  Hastings,,  the  lord  chamber- 
lain, to  destroy  the  young  princes,  and  finding  him  faithful  to  the  royal 
house,  he  procured  his  condemnation  and  death.  By  means  of  the  Duke 
of  Buckingham,  he  then  obtained  the  apparent  choice  of  the  people,  and 
their  invitation  to  assume  the  sceptre.  In  this  manner,  Richard  of  Glouce- 
ster ascended  the  throne;  and  soon  after  this  event,  his  innocent  nephews 
were  murdered,  A.  D.  1485.  It  is  supposed  that  they  were  stifled  by 
his  command,  and  buried  beneath  a  heap  of  stones.  In  the  reign  of  Char- 
les II.  the  rubbish  which  was  imagined  to  cover  the  remains  of  the  un- 
fortunate princes,  being  removed  in  order  to  make  a  new  entrance  to  the 
chapel  of  th^  white  tower,  in  the  great  Tower  of  London,  two-skeletons 
were  found,  answering  in  size  and  position,  the  tradition  concerning  the 
interment  of  the  royal  children.  The  bones  were  transported  to  West- 
minster Abbey,  and  there  deposited  under  a  marble  monument.   - 

Wicked  associates  seldom  live  long  in  friendship :  Richard  and  Bucking- 
ham, the  vile  instrument  of  his  exaltation,  soon  quarrelled,  There  exist- 
ed a  branch  of  the  house  of  Lancaster,  Henry,  Earl  of  Richmond,  by 
the  paternal  line,  grandson  of  Owen  Tudor,  whom  Catherine  of  France 
had  married  after  the  decease  of  her  noble  husband,  Henry  V.,  and  de- 
scended by  the  female  side  from  Edward  III.  He  was,  at  that  time,  living 
in  Brittany,  rather  guarded  than  protected  by  its  duke.  Him  Buckingham 
invited  to  wrest  the  sceptre  from  the  hands  of  the  tyrant  Richard;  while 
he  himself  appearing  in  arms  prematurely,  was  taken  and  beheaded.  In 
the  mean  time,  Richmond  obtained  a  smaU  supply  of  troops  from  the 
French  king;  and,  landing  in  Wales,  was  there  joined  by  Vere,  Earl  of 
Oxford,  and  many  remaining  friends  of  the  Red  Rose-  Thence  he  marched 
forwards  to  Bosworth  in  Leicestershire,  where  Richard  met  him  with  a 
far  superior  force.  An  engagement  ensued;  at  the  very  commencement 
of  which,  Lord  Stanley,  who  had  married  the  mother  of  Richmond,  and 
who  had  suffered  under  the  oppressive  sway  of  the  usurper,  deserted 
from  him  with  a  considerable  body  of  troops.  The  rest  of  the  royal 
army  was  speedily  routed,  and  Richard,  rushing  among  his  enemies  with 
desperate  fury,  was  slain,  after  having  killed  Sir  Robert  Brandon,  who 
bore  Richmond's  standard.  Together  with  him  fell  the  Duke  of  Norfolk 
and  four  thousand  common  men,  fighting  in  a  cause  of  little  importance

to  their  welfare,  A.  D.  1485.  Upon  the  field  of  battle,  the  victorious 
army,  with  loud  shouts,  saluted  Richmond  king  of  England,  and  he 
ascended  the  throne  without  further  opposition.  The  contest  between  the 
white  and  red  roses  was  now  terminated  for  ever-  The  families  of  York 
and  Lancaster  were  united  by  the  marriage  of  Richmond,  now  Henry  VII., 
with  Elizabeth,  eldest  daughter  of  Edward  IV.;  and  an  end  was  happily 
put  to  those  dreadful  civil  wars,  which  had  sacrificed  multitudes  of  val- 
uable citizens,  and  almost  broken  the  strength  of  the  nation.      (Holt). 


16,  Henry  VII. 


Henry  Tudor  was  a  wise  and  prudent  monarch,  who  knew  how  to 
appreciate  the  value  of  peace,  and  felt  its  necessity  for  reviving  the 
strength  of  the  nation.  His  reign  of  nearly  four  and  twenty  years  was 
fortunate  and  tranquil,  rather  than  brilliant,  and  was  so  much  the  more 
beneficial  to  his  subjects.  Toward  its  commencement  he  suppressed  two 
dangerous- insurrections  by  his  activity  and  vigour;  one  raised  by  Simnal, 
the  son  of  a  baker,  who  pretended  that  the  unfortunate  Duke  of  Clarence 
was  his  father;  the  other  by  Perkin  Warbeck,  who  asserted  himself  to 
be  Richard,  Duke  of  York,  escaped  from  the  assassins  employed  by  his 
inhuman  uncle;  and  who  had  actually  murdered  his  brother  Edward  V. 
Henry  VII.  found  the  royal  treasury  nearly  exhausted  by  the  extravagance 
of  his  predecessors.  Habits  of  strict  economy  were,  therefore,  absolutely 
necessary.  Unfortunately  those  habits  became  immoderately  strong  and 
finally  degenerated  into  rapacity  and  avarice.  By  Elizabeth  of  York,  Henry 
had  two  sons;  the  elder  of  whom,  Arthur,  a  prince  whose  talents  and 
conduct  raised  the  most  pleasing  expectations,  died  before  his  father,  to 
the  great  regret  of  the  whole  nation;  especially  as  Henry,  the  second 
son",  did  not  afford  such  cheering  hopes.  Henry  VII.,  by  wise  and  cau- 
tious measures,  endeavoured  to  destroy  the  overgrown  and  pernicious 
power  of  the  nobles.  Till  his  time,  the  great  lords  had  the  use  of  their 
possessions  for  their  lives  only,  and  had  not  the  liberty  of  alienating  or 
selling  them;  in  consequence  of  which,  such- accumulations  took  place  in 
some  high  families,  that,  by  degrees,  they  became  proprietors  of  the 
greater  part  of  the  lands  of  the  whole  kingdom.  To  remedy  this  evil,  the 
king  granted  these  great  landholders  permission  to  sell.   They  took  ad- 


—  188  — 

vantage  of  this  permission,  and-  parted  with  their  lands,  or  portions  of 
them,  to  supply  the  cravings  of  dissipation  and  luxury.  Private  indivi- 
duals, who  had  enriched  themselves  by  industry,  purchased  them,  and 
thus  the  lower  orders  of  citizens  acquired  that  influence  which  the  barons 
lost;  and  a  more  even  balance  was  established  between  the  two  orders. 
This  monarch  patronized  commerce  and  voyages  of  discovery,  and 
invited  the  illustrious  navigator  Columbus  to  enter  into  his  service,  which 
was  prevented  only  by  an  unlucky  accident.  In  his  reign  Sebastian  Ca- 
bot, sailing  from  Bristol,  discovered  that  part  of  America,  called  New- 
foundland. He  caused  to  be  constructed  an  enormously  large  vessel,  named 
«the  Great  Henry»,  and  by  maintaining  ships  of  his  own,  in  fact  laid 
the  foundation  of  that  navy  which  is  the  grand  bulwark  of  Britain,  Before 
his  time,  if  the  exigencies  of  the  state  required  a  fleet,  the  monarch  had 
no  other  means  of  providing  one  than  hiring,  or  forcibly  seizing  the  ves- 
sels of  the  merchants.  Henry  died  of  consumption  in  the  fifty-third  year 
of  his  life,  A.  D.  1509,  and  was  buried  in  a  magnificent  chapel,  which 
he  had  built  in  Westminster  Abbey,  and  which  is  still  one  of  the  greatest 
ornaments  of  that  venerable  edifice.  The  favourite  maxim  of  this  sover- 
eign was,  «'When  Christ  came  into  the  world,  peace  was  sung,  and 
when  he  left  it,  peace  was  bequeathed)),  and  had  this  been  the  ruling 
principle  of  preceding  and  successive  sovereigns,  much  less  bloodshed 
and  animosity,  much  less  natural  and  moral  evil,  would  have  existed  in 
the  world.  (Holt). 


17.  Henry  VIII. 


Upon  the  decease  of  his  father,  Henry  VIII.  ascended  the  throne 
without  a  rival,  flourishing  in  youthful  vigour  and  personal  beauty,  the 
object  of  the  best  hopes  and  most  pleasing  expectations  of  his  subjects. 
Listening  to  the  advice  of  his  prudent  grandmother,  the  countess  of  Rich- 
mond, and  Derby,  he  selected  a  wise  and  respectable  council;  he  com- 
pleted his  marriage  with  Catherine,  Avho  having  been  espoused  to  his 
brother  Arthur,  upon  the  pi-ince's  lamented  death  was  retained  in  Eng- 
land to  become  his  wife;  he  gave  np  to  the  resentment  of  the  nation, 
Dudley  and  Empson,  the  odious  ministers  of  the  exactions  of  Henry  VII. 
Adorned  with  manly  and  literary  accomplishments,  the  young  monarch 


-  189  - 

attracted  the  attention  of  civilized  Europe,  and  his  friendship  was  courted 
by  its  greatest  potentates.  But  this  bright  prospect  was  too  soon  obscured 
by  threatening  clouds.  Henry  became  extravagant,  luxurious,  intemper- 
ate, and  quickly  lavished  in  useless  and  vain  pomp,  the  immense  trea- 
sures which  the  late  king  had  amassed.  These  he  might  have  applied  to 
public  benefit,  and  it  was  surely  his  duty  so  to  do.  In  his  alliances  and 
attachments  he  was  extremely  fickle  and  capricious.  Sometimes  he  was 
the  friend  of  the  gallant  and  romantic  Francis  I.  of  France,  and  at  other 
times  he  united  himself  with  the  cautions  and  crafty  Charles  V.,  Emperor 
of  Germany. 

Youthful  effervescence  and  activity  of  mind  degenerated  into  violence 
and  cruelty,  and  he  finally  became  an  odious  tyrant!  Wolsey,  a  priest  of 
great  abilities  and  learning,  but  cunning  and  ambitious,  by  flattering  the 
passions  of  Henry,  and  administering  to  his  absurd  and  extravagant  plea- 
sures, gained  almost  his  exclusive  favour.  He  rose  rapidly  to  the  highest' 
rank  and  offices;  and  was  graced  by  the  pope  with  the  title  of  Cardinal. 
This  man,  for  a  season,  ruled  insensibly  the  fiery  monarch,  and  conse- 
quently the  whole  realm.  The  parliaments  were  submissive,  the  king  was 
absolute,  and  English  liberty  appeared  to  be  expiring.  At  this  period, 
Luther,  a  German  ecclesiastic,  began  to  attack  the  corruptions  introdu- 
ced, or  at  least  countenanced  by  the  Roman  Pontiffs.  Henry  VIII.,  having 
been  intended  for  an  ecclesiastical  life,  and  destined  to  the  archbishopric 
of  Canterbury,  before  his  brother's  death,  had  been  educated  in  the 
knowledge  and  practice  of  polemical  theology.  Proud  of  his  attainment 
Henry  entered  the  lists  with  Luther,  and  defended  the  power  of  the 
popes,  and  the  seven  Catholic  sacraments.  Pope  Leo  X.  conferred  upon  the 
royal  disputant,  the  title  of  «Defender  of  the  Faith, »  little  expecting 
that  this  defender  would  finally  sever  England  from  the  Holy  See, 

The  passions  of  Henry  VIII.  were  impetuous,  and  he  had  not  acquired 
the  power  of  commanding  them.  But  from  what  was  a  personal  evil 
to  Henry  himself  and  doubtless  an  apparent  evil  to  those  around,  the  in- 
finitely wise  and  benevolent  disposer  of  all  events  educed  good.  From 
this  source  arose  the  freedom  of  England  from  ecclesiastical  tyranny. 
The  king  indulging  a  capricious  fancy  for  Anne  Boleyn,  a  beautiful  and 
accomplished  young  woman,  one  of  the  queen's  attendants,  in  order  to 
marry  her  wished  to  obtain  a  divorce  from  Catherine.  For  this  purpose 
he  applied  to  Pope  Clement  VII.  to  annul  his  uniou  with  his  brother's 


—  190  — 

widow,  as  being  unlawful,  and  pretending  great  scruples  of  conscience 
on  that  account.  Catherine  of  Arragon  was  the  aunt  of  the  powerful  Char- 
les V.  of  Germany,  whose  menaces  deterred  Clement  from  complying 
with  the  request  of  Henry.  Finding  that  he  could  not  accomplish  his  plan, 
the  impatient  spirit  of  the  king  burst  forth  into  a  flame.  He  disgraced 
Cardinal  Wolsey,  who  dared  not  support  his  temporal  sovereign  against 
his  spiritual  lord;  and  the  fallen  favourite  died  of  grief  and  mortified  pride. 

Cranmer,  a  learned  ecclesiastic,  who  was  soon  after  created  arch- 
bishop of  Canterbury,  devised  the  fortunate  expedient  of  consulting  the 
most  celebrated  universities  of  Europe  upon  the  legality  of  the  marriage 
with  his  brother's  widow.  The  greater  part  of  those  learned  bodies  con- 
demned such  a  union,  and  declared  that  the  pope  himself  had  not  autho- 
rity to  sanction  it.  Whereupon,  Henry  repudiated  Catherine,  and  substi- 
tuted the  object  of  his  fickle  affection  in  her  place.  Despising  a  bull  of 
excommunication  which  Clement  published  against  him,  the  king  indu- 
ced his  compliant  Parliament  to  declare  him  head  of  the  English  church 
instead  of  the  pope,  and  to  break  off  all  connection  with  the  Holy  See. 
Henry  proceeded  to  expel  the  monks  from  their  convents  and  to  take 
possession  of  their  wealth,  an  act  of  cruel  injustice.  He  persecuted  to 
death  both  protestants  and  papists  who  denied  his  supremacy  over  the 
church,  or  presumed  to  profess  religious  opinions  different  from  those 
which  he  pretended  to  hold.  He  created  six  new  bishoprics,  caused  the 
Bible  to  be  translated  into  English,  and  adopted  partly  the  Romish  and 
partly  the  Reformed  creed.  Sir  Thomas  More,  a  man  of  solid  learning, 
great  abilities  and  admirable  character,  who  had  succeeded  Wolsey  in 
the  office  of  Chancellor  and  had  executed  the  duties  of  that  important 
office  with  undeviating  integrity,  together  with  Fisher,  bishop  of  Ro- 
chester, who  deservedly  enjoyed  high  reputation,  were  sacrificed  by  Hen- 
ry's indiscriminating  anger.  In  comparatively  a  short  time,  Henry's  af- 
fections were  alienated  from  Anne  Boleyn,  and  he  caused  her  to  be  tried, 
condemned,  and  beheaded,  though  evidently  innocent  of  the  charges 
brought  against  her. 

Immediately  after  her  death,  Henry  married  Jane  Seymour,  who  be- 
came the  mother  of  Edward  VI.  Death  removing  her,  this  capricious 
sovereign  espoused  Anne  of  Cleves,  a  Garman  princess;  but  her  he  speed- 
ily divorced,  and  disgraced  Cromwell,  an  able  statesman  and  zealous 
friend  of  the  reformation,  for  having  advised  that  marriage.  The  tyrant 


—  19i  — 

caused  him  to  be  impeached  of  high  treason  and  beheaded,  Catherine 
Howard  next  succeeded  to  the  dangerous  dignity  of  queen,  and  experien- 
ced the  fate  of  Anne  Boleyn.  Catherine  Parr,  widow  of  Lord  Latimer, 
Henry's  sixth  wife,  fortunately  survived  this  sanguinary  husband,  though 
she  had  a  narrow  escape;  for  the  liing  began  to  suspect  that  she  presu- 
med to  differ  from  his  religious  opinions,  and  her  enemies  were  urging 
him  to  her  destruction.  In  the  mean  time,  Henry  had  absurdly  engaged 
in  successive  wars  of  no  long  duration,  nor  of  great  consequence;  he 
gained  some  advantages  in  France,  and  while  he  was  in  that  country, 
James  IV.  of  Scotland,  who  had  embraced  this  opportnuity  of  atlacking 
England,  v/as  defeated  and  killed  by  the  Earl  of  Surrey  at  Flodden  field. 
Henry  VIII.,  rendered  still  more  irritable  than  ever  by  disease,  fortunate- 
ly for  his  subjects  at  large,  and  yet  more  fortunately  for  those  imme- 
diately about  his  person,  died  A.  D.  1547.  (Holt). 


18.  Ring  Edward  VI. 

Though  considerable  talents  and  attainments  have  not  always  been  as- 
sociated with  eminent  stations,  a  goodly  number  of  the  great  are  to  be 
found  in  the  list  of  those  who  have  been  richly  endowed  by  their  Creator, 
and  have  diligently  improved  his  gifts.  The  young  king  Edward  VI.  stands 
among  the  most  prominent  of  these  examples. 

This  aimiable  prince  was  born  in  1537,  at  Hampton  Court.  His  mother 
was  Jane  Seymour,  the  third  wife  of  Henry  VIII.  At  the  early  age  of  six 
years,  he  was  committed  to  the  care  of  Sir  Anthony  Cook,  and  other 
learned  preceptors,  who  were  intent  on  his  improvement  in  spiritual  know- 
ledge, as  well  as  in  science  and  learning.  The  manner  in  which  these 
gentlemen  performed  their  duties,  and  in  which  the  prince  improved, 
may  be  ascertained  from  an  account  written  by  William  Thomas,  a  learned 
man,  who  was  afterwards  clerk  of  the  council.  He  says  — 

«If  ye  knew  the  towardness  of  that  young  prince,  your  hearts  would 
melt  to  hear  him  named,  and  your  stomach  abhor  the  malice  of  them  that 
would  him  ill.  The  beautifulest  creature  that  liveth  under  the  sun, 
the  wittiest ,  the  most  amiable ,  and  the  gentlest  thing  of  all  the 
world.  Such  a  capacity  in  learning  the  things  taught  him  by  his  school- 
master, that  it  is  a  wonder  to  hearsay.  And,  finally,  he  has  such  a  grace 


—  192  — 

of  posture,  and  gesture  in  gravity,  when  he  comes  into  a  presence,  that 
is  should  seem  he  were  already  a  father ,  and  yet  passes  he  not  the  age 
of  ten  years.  A  thing,  undoubtedly,  much  rather  to  be  seen  than  believed*. 

In  his  ninth  year  he  wrote  letters  in  Latin  and  French;  and  in  the 
British  Museum  are  themes  and  orations  in  Latin,  which  he  then  com- 
posed. Curio,  the  Italian  reformer,  told  his  tutors,  «that  by  their  united 
prayers,  counsels,  and  industry,  they  had  formed  a  king  of  the  highest, 
even  divine  hopes ». 

His  ardent  attachment  and  reverence  to  the  Holy  Scriptures  are  well 
known;  and  Foxe  tells  us  «that  he  was  not  wanting  in  diligence  to  re- 
ceive whatever  his  instructors  would  teach  him;  so  that,  in  the  midst 
of  all  his  play  and  recreation,  he  would  always  keep  the  hours  appointed 
to  study,  using  the  same  with  much  attention,  till  time  called  him  again 
from  his  book  to  pastime.  ^    , 

«In  this,  his  study  and  keeping  of  his  hours,  he  so  profited,  that 
Cranmer,  beholding  his  towardness,  his  readiness  in  both  tongues,  in 
translating  from  Greek  to  Latin,  from  Latin  to  Greek  again,  in  declaiming, 
with  his  schoolfellows,  without  help  of  his  teachers,  and  that  extempore, 
wept  for  joy,  declaring  to  Dr.  Fox,  his  schoolmaster,  that  he  would 
never  have  thought  it  to  have  been  in  the  prince,  except  he  had  seen 
it  himself » . 

He  became  acquainted  with  seven  languages,  and  well  understood 
logic  and  theology. 


19.  The  Invincible  Armada, 

Philip,  King  of  Spain,  threatened  to  do  greater  things  than  ever  had 
been  done  yet,  to  set  up  the  Catholic  religion  and  punish  ProtestantEngland. 
Elizabeth ,  hearing  that  he  and  the  Prince  of  Parma  *)  were  making 
great  preparations  for  this  purpose,  in  order  to  be  before  hand  with  them, 
sent  out  Admiral  Drake  (a  famous  navigator  who  had  sailed  about  the 
world,  and  had  already  brought  great  plunder  from  Spain)  to  the  port  of 
Cadix,  where  he  burned  a  hundred  vessels  full  of  stores.  This  great  loss 
obliged  the  Spaniards  to  put  off  the  invasion  for  a  year,  but  it  was  none 
the  less  formidable  for  that,  amounting  to  130  ships,  19000  soldiers, 
8000  sailors ,  2000  slaves ,  and  between  20Ua  and  3000  great  guns.

—  193  — 

England  was  not  idle  in  making  ready  to  resist  this  great  force.  All  the 
men  between  16  years  and  60  ,  were  trained  and  drilled  ;  the  national 
fleet  of  ships  (in  number  only  34  at  first)  was  enlarged  by  public  con- 
tributions and  by  private  ships,  filled  out  by  noblemen;  theCity  of  London, 
of  its  own  accord,  furnished  double  the  number  of  ships  and  men  that  it 
was  required  to  provide;  and  if  ever  the  national  spirit  was  up  inEngland, 
it  was  up  all  through  the  country  to  resist  the  Spaniards.  Some  of  the 
Queen's  advisers  were  for  seizing  the  principal  English  Catholics ,  and 
putting  them  to  death;  but  the  Queen  rejected  the  advice,  and  only  confined 
a  few  of  those  who  were  the  most  suspected  among  them,  in  the  fens  in 
Lincolnshire.  The  great  body  of  Catholics  deserved  this  confidence;  for  they 
behaved  most  loyally,  nobly,  and  bravely. 

So,  with  all  England  firing  up  like  one  strong  angry  man,  and  with 
both  sides  of  the  Thames  fortified,  and  with  the  soldiers  under  arms,  and 
the  sailors  in  their  ships,  the  country  waited  for  the  coming  of  the  proud 
Spanish  fleet  which  was  called  the  Invincible  Armada.  The  Queen  her- 
self, riding  on  a  white  horse,  with  armour  on  her  back,  and  the  Earl  of 
Essex  and  the  Earl  of  Leicester  holding  her  bridle  rein ,  made  a  brave 
speech  to  the  troops  at  Tilbury  Fort  opposite  Gravesend,  which  was  received 
with  such  enthusiasm  as  is  seldom  known.  Then  came  the  Spanish  Armada 
into  the  English  Channel  sailing  along  in  the  form  of  a  half  moon,  of  such 
great  size ,  that  it  was  seven  miles  broad.  But  the  English  were  quick 
upon  it ,  and  woe  then  to  all  the  Spanish  ships  that  dropped  a  little  out 
of  the  half  moon,  for  the  English  took  them 'instantly.  And  it  soon  ap- 
peared that  the  great  Armada  was  anything  but  invincible,  for,  on  a 
summer  night,  bold  Drake  sent  eight  blazing  fire-ships  right  into  the  midst 
of  it.  In  terrible  consternation  the  Spaniards  tried  to  get  out  to  sea,  and 
so  became  dispersed;  the  English  pursued  them  at  a  great  advantage;  a 
storm  came  on,  and  drove  the  Spaniards  among  rocks  and  shoals;  and 
the  swift  end  of  the  invincible  fleet  was  that  it  lost  thirty  great  ships  and 
10,000  men  ,  and,  defeated  and  disgraced  ,  sailed  home  again.  Being 
afraid  to  go  by  the  English  Channel ,  it  sailed  all  round  Scotland  and 
Ireland;  and  some  of  the  ships  getting  cast  away  on  the  latter  coast  in 
bad  weather  ,  the  Irish  ,  who  were  a  kind  of  savages ,  plundered  those 
vessels,  and  killed  their  crews.  So  ended  this  great  attempt  to  invade  and 
conquer  England.  (Charles  Dickens).

20.  The  Gunpowder  Plot. 

The  Roman  catholics  had  expected  great  favour  and  indulgence  on 
the  accession  of  James,  both  as  he  was  descended  from  Mary,  whose  life 
they  believed  to  have  been  sacrificed  to  their  cause,  and  as  he  himself,  in 
his  early  youth  ,  was  imagined  to  have  shown  some  partiality  towards 
them,  which  nothing,  they  thought,  but  interest  and  necessity  had  since 
restrained.  It  is  pretended,  that  he  had  even  entered  into  positive  engage- 
ments to  tolerate  their  religion,  as  soon  as  he  should  mount  the  throne 
of  England;  whether  their  credulity  had  interpreted  in  this  sense  some 
obliging  expressions  of  the  king's ,  or  that  he  had  employed  such  an 
artifice ,  in  order  to  render  them  favourable  to  his*title.  Very  soon  they 
discovered  their  mistake,  and  were  at  once  surprised  and  enraged  to  find 
James ,  on  all  occasions ,  express  his  intention  of  strictly  executing  the 
laws  enacted  against  them,  and  ofpersevering  in  all  the  rigorous  measures 
of  Elizabeth.  Catesby,  a  gentleman  of  good  parts  and  of  an  ancient  family, 
first  thought  of  a  most  extraordinary  method  of  revenge;  and  he  opened 
his  intention  to  Piercy,  a  descendant  of  the  illustrious  house  of  Northum- 
berland. In  one  of  their  conversations  with  regard  to  the  distressed  con 
dition  of  the  catholics,  Piercy  having  broken  into  a  sally  of  passion,  and 
mentioned  assassinating  the  king;  Catesby  took  the  opportunity  of  revealing 
to  him  a  nobler  and  more  extensive  plan  oftreason,  which  not  only  included 
a  sure  execution  of  vengeance ,  but  afforded  some  hopes  of  restoring  the 
catholic  religion  in  England.  In  vain,  said  he ,  would  you  put  an  end  to 
the  king's  life :  he  has  children  ,  who  would  succeed  both  to  his  crown 
and  maxims  of  government.  In  vain  would  you  extinguish  the  whole  royal 
family:  the  nobility,  the  gentry,  the  parliament,  are  all  infected  with 
the  same  heresy ,  and  could  raise  to  the  throne  another  prince  and 
another  family,  who,  besides  their  hatred  to  our  religion,  would  be  an- 
imated with  revenge  for  the  tragical  death  of  their  predecessors.  To  serve 
any  good  purpose,  we  must  destroy,  at  one  blow,  the  King,  the  royal 
family,  the  lords,  the  commons,  and  bury  all  our  enemies  in  one  common 
ruin.  Happily,  they  are  all  assembled  on  the  first  meeting  of  the  parliament, 
and  afford  us  the  opportunity  of  glorious  and  useful  vengeance.  Great  pre- 
parations will  not  be  requisite.  A  few  of  us,  combining,  may  run  a  mine 
below  the  hall,  in  which  they  meet;  and  choosing  the  very  monient  when 
the  king  harangues  both  houses,  consign  over  to  destruction  these  determ- 


—  195  — 

ined  foes  to  all  piety  and  religion.  Meanwhile,  we  ourselves  standing 
aloof,  safe  and  unsuspected,  shall  triumph  in  being  the  instruments  of 
divine  wrath,  and  shall  behold  with  pleasure  those  sacrilegious  walls, 
in  which  were  passed  the  edicts  for  proscribing  our  church  and  butcher- 
ing her  children,  tossed  into  a  thousand  fragments;  while  their  impious 
inhabitants,  meditating,  perhaps,  still  new  persecutions  against  us,  pass 
from  flames  above  to  flames  below,  there  for  ever  to  endure  the  torments 
due  to  their  offences. 

Piercy  was  charmed  with  this  project  of  Catesby;  and  they  agreed  to 
communicate  the  matter  to  a  few  more,  and  among  the  rest  to  Thomas 
Winter,  whom  they  sent  over  to  Flanders,  in  quest  of  Fawkes,  an  officer 
in  the  Spanish  service,  with  whose  zeal  and  courage  they  were  all  tho- 
roughly acquainted.  When  they  inlisted  any  new  conspirator,  in  order  to 
bind  him  to  secrecy,  they  always,  together  with  an  oath,  employed  the 
Communion,  the  most  sacred  right  of  their  religion.  And  it  is  remark- 
able, that  no  one  of  these  pious  devotees  ever  entertained  the  least  com- 
punction with  regard  to  the  cruel  massacre  which  they  projected,  of  what- 
ever was  great  and  eminent  in  the  nation.  Some  of  them  only  were  start- 
led by  the  reflection,  that  of  necessity  many  catholics  must  be  present, 
as  spectators  or  attendants  to  the  king,  or  as  having  seats  in  the  house 
of  peers:  but  Tesmond,  a  Jesuit,  and  Garnet,  superior  of  that  order  in 
England,  removed  these  scruples, and  showed  them  how  the  interests  of 
religion  required  that  the  innocent  should  here  be  sacrificed  with  the 
guilty. 

All  this  passed  in  the  spring  and  summer  of  the  year  1604;  when 
the  conspirators  also  hired  a  house  in  Piercy's  name,  adjoining  to  that 
in  which  the  parliament  was  to  assemble.  Towards  the  end  of  that  year 
they  began  their  operations.  That  they  might  be  less  interrupted,  and 
give  less  suspicions  to  the  neighbourhood,  they  carried  in  store  of  pro- 
visions with  them,  and  never  desisted  from  their  labour.  Obstinate  in 
their  purpose,  and  confirmed  by  passion,  by  principle,  and  by  mutual 
exhortation,  they  little  feared  death  in  comparison  of  a  disappointment; 
and  having  provided  arms,  together  with  the  instruments  of  their  labour, 
they  resolved  there  to  perish  in  case  of  discovery  (1605).  Their  perse- 
verance advanced  the  work;  and  they  soon  pierced  the  wall,  though  three 
yards  in  thickness;  but  on  approaching  the  other  side,  they  were  some- 
what startled  at  hearing  a  noise,  which  they  knew  not  how  to  account 


—  196  — 

for.  Upon  inquiry,  they  found  (hat  it  came  from  the  vault  below  the  house 
of  Lords;  that  a  magazine  of  coals  had  been  kept  there;  and  that,  as  the 
coals  were  selling  off,  the  vault  would  be  let  to  the  highest  bidder.  The 
opportunity  was  immediately  seized:  the  place  hired  by  Piercy;  thirty- 
six  barrels  of  powder  lodged  in  it;  the  whole  covered  up  with  fagots  and 
billets;  the  doors  of  the  cellar  boldly  flung  open;  and  every  body  admit- 
ted, as  if  it  contained  nothing  dangerous. 

Confident  of  success,  they  now  began  to  look  forward,  and  to  plan 
the  remaining  part  of  their  project.  The  king,  the  queen,  prince  Henry, 
were  all  expected  to  be  present  at  the  opening  of  parliament.  The  duke, 
by  reason  of  his  tender  age,  would  be  absent;  and  it  was  resolved,  that 
Piercy  should  seize  him,  or  assassinate  him.  The  princess  Elizabeth,  a  child 
likewise,  was  kept  at  lord  Harrington's  house  at  Warwickshire ;  and  Sir 
Everard  Digby,  Rockwood,  Grant,  being  let  into  the  conspiracy,  engaged 
to  assemble  their  friends  on  pretence  of  a  hunting-match,  and  seizing  that 
princess,  immediately  to  proclaim  her  queen.  So  transported  were  they 
with  rage  against  their  adversaries,  and  so  charmed  with  the  prospect  of 
revenge,  that  they  forgot  all  care  of  their  own  safety;  and  trusting  to  the 
general  confusion,  which  must  result  from  so  unexpected  a  blow,  they 
foresaw  not,  that  the  fury  of  the  people,  now  unrestrained  by  any  authority, 
must  have  turned  against  them,  and  would  probably  have  satiated  itself 
by  a  universal  massacre  of  the  catholics. 

The  day,  so  long  wished  for,  now  approached,  on  which  the  parlia- 
ment was  appointed  to  assemble.  The  dreadful  secret,  though  commu- 
nicated to  above  twenty  persons,  had  been  religiously  kept,  during  the 
space  of  near  a  yearanda  half.  Noremorse,  nopity,  nofear  ofpuishment, 
no  hope  of  reward,  had  as  yet  induced  any  one  conspirator,  either  to  abandon 
the  enterprise,  or  make  a  discovery  of  it.  Theholy  fury  had  extinguished 
in  their  breast  every  other  motive;  and  it  was  an  indiscretion  at  last, 
proceeding  chiefly  from  these  very  bigoted  prejudices  and  partialities, 
which  saved  the  nation. 

Ten  days  before  the  meeting  of  parliament,  lord  Monteagle,  a  catho- 
lic, son  to  lordMorley,  received  the  following  letter,  which  had  been  de- 
livered to  his  servant  by  an  unknown  hand:  «My  lord,  Out  of  the  love  I 
bear  to  some  of  your  friends,  I  have  a  care  of  your  preservation.  Therefore 
I  would  advise  you,  as  you  tender  your  life,  to  devise  some  excuse  to  shift 
off  your  attendance  at  this  parliament.  For  God  and  man  have  concurred 


I 


—  197  — 

to  punish  the  wickedness  of  ^this  time.  And  thinli  not  slightly  of  this 
advertisement;  but  retire  yourself  into  your  couutry,  where  you  may 
expect  the  event  in  safety.  For,  though  there  be  no  appearance  of  any 
stir,  yet,  I  say,  they  will  receive  a  terrible  blow  this  parliament,  and 
yet  they  shall  not  see  who  hurts  them.  This  counsel  is  not  to  be  con- 
temned, because  it  may  do  you  good,  and  can  do  you  no  harm:  for  the 
danger  is  past,  as  soon  as  you  have  burned  th,e  letter.  And  I  hope  God 
will  give  you  the  grace  to  make  good  use  of  it,  unto  whose  holy  protec- 
tion I  commend  you». 

Monteagle  knew  not  what  to  make  of  this  letter;  and  though  inclined 
to  think  it  a  foolish  attempt  to  frighten  and  ridicule  him,  he  judged  it 
safest  to  carry  it  to  lord  Salisbury,  secretary  of  state.  Though  Salisbury 
too  was  inclined  to  pay  little  attention  to  it,  he  thought  proper  to  lay  it 
before  the  king,  who  came  to  town  a  few  days  after.  To  the  king  it  ap- 
peared not  so  light  a  matter;  and  from  the  serious  earnest  style  of  the 
letter,  he  conjectured  that  it  implied  something  dangerous  and  important. 
A  terrible  blow,  and  yet  the  authors  concealed;  a  danger  so  sudden,  and 
yet  so  great;  these  circumstances  seemed  all  to  denote  some  contrivance 
by  gunpowder;  and  it  was  thought  advisable  to  inspect  all  the  vaults 
below  the  houses  of  parliament.  This  care  belonged  to  the  earl  of  Suffolk, 
lord  chamberlain,  who  purposely  delayed  the  search,  till  the  day  before 
the  meeting  of  parliament.  He  remarked  those  great  piles  of  wood  and 
faggots,  which  lay  in  the  vault  under  the  upper  house;  and  he  cast  his 
eye  upon  Fawkes,  who  stood  in  a  dark  corner,  and  passed  himself  for 
Piercy's  servant,  That  daring  and  determined  courage,  which  so  much 
distinguished  this  conspirator,  even  among  those  heroes  in  villany,  was 
fully  painted  in  his  countenance,  and  was  not  passed  unnoticed  by  the 
chamberlain.  Such  a  quantity  also  of  fuel  for  the  use  of  one  who  lived 
so  little  in  town  as  Piercy,  appeared  a  little  extraordinary,  and  upon 
camparing  all  circumstances,  it  was  resolved  that  a  more  thorough  in- 
spection should  be  made.  About  midnight,  sir  Thomas  Knevet,  a  justice 
of  peace,  was  sent  with  proper  attendants;  and  before  the  door  of  the 
vault  finding  Fawkes,  who  had  just  finished  all  his  preparations,  he  im- 
mediately seized  him,  and  turning  over  the  faggots,  discovered  the  powder. 
The  matches  and  every  thing  proper  for  setting  tire  to  the  train  were  taken 
in  Fawkes's  pocket;  who  finding  his  guilt  now  apparent,  and  seeing  no  re- 
fuge but  in  boldness  and  despair,  expressed  the  utmost  rjegret,  that  he 


—  198  -  . 

had  lost  the  opportunity  of  firing  the  powder  at  once  and  of  sweetening 
his  own  death  by  that  of  his  enemies.  Before  the  council,  he  displayed 
the  same  intrepid  firmness,  mixed  even  with  scorn  and  disdain;  re- 
fusing to  discover  his  accomplices,  and  shoAving  no  concern  but  for  the 
failure  of  the  enterprise.  This  obstinacy  lasted  two  or  three  days:  but 
being  confined  to  the  Tower,  left  to  reflect  on  his  guilt  and  danger,  and 
the  rack  being  just  shown  to  him;  his  courage,  fatigued  with  so  long  an 
effort,  and  unsupported  by  hope  or  society,  at  last  failed  him;  and  he 
made  a  full  discovery  of  all  the  conspirators. 

Catesby,  Piercy,  aud  the  other  criminals,  who  were  in  London,  though 
they  had  heard  of  the  alarm  taken  at  a  letter  sent  so  Monteagle;  though 
they  had  heard  of  the  chamberlain's  search;  yet  were  resolved  to  persist 
to  the  utmost,  and  never  abandon  their  hopes  of  success.  But  at  last, 
hearing  that  Fawkes  was  arrested,  they  hurried  down  to  Warwickshire; 
where  Sir  Everard  Digby,  thinking  himself  assured  th^t  success -had  at- 
tended his  confederates,  was  already  in  arms,  in  order  to  seize  the  prin- 
cess Elizabeth.  She  had  escaped  into  Coventry;  and  they  were  obliged 
to  put  themselves  on  their  defence  against  the  country,  who  were  raised 
from  all  quarters,  and  armed,  by  the  sheriff.  The  conspirators  with  all 
their  attendants,  never  exceeded  the  number  of  eighty  persons;  and  being 
surrounded  on  every  side,  could  no  longer  entertain  hopes,  either  of 
prevailing  or  escaping.  Having  therefore  confessed  themselves,  and  re- 
ceived absolution,  they  boldly  prepared  for  death,  and  resolved  to  sell 
their  lives  as  dear  as  possible  to  the  assailants.  But  even  this  miserable 
consolation  was  denied  them.  Some  of  their  powder  took  fire,  and  disabled 
them  for  defence.  The  people  rushed  in  upon  them.  Piercy  and  Catesby 
were  killed  by  one  shot.  Digby,  Rockwood,  Winter,  and  others,  being 
taken  prisoners,  were  tried,  confessed  their  guilt,  and  died,  as  well  as 
Garnet,  by  the  hands  of  the  executioner.  Notwithstanding  this  horrid 
crime,  the  bigoted  catholics  were  so  devoted  to  Garnet  that  they  fancied 
miracles  to  be  wrought  by  his  blood;  and  in  Spain  he  was  regarded  as 
a  martyr. 

Neither  had  the  desperate  fortune  of  the  conspirators  urged  them  to 
this  enterprise,  nor  had  the  former  profligacy  of  their  lives  prepared 
them  for  so  great  a  crime.  Before  that  audacious  attempt,  their  conduct 
seems,  in  general,  to  be  liable  to  no  reproach.  Catesby's  character  had 
entitled  him  to  such  regard,  that  Rockwood  and  Digby  were  seduced 


~  199  — 

by  their  implicit  trust  in  his  judgment;  and  they  declared  that,  from  the 
motive  alone  of  friendship  to  him,  they  were  ready,  on  any  occasion,  to 
have  sacrificed  their  lives.  Digby  himself  was  as  highly  esteemed  and 
beloved  as  any  man  in  England;  and  he  had  been  particularly  honoured 
with  the  good  opinion  of  queen  Elizabeth.  It  was  bigoted  zeal  alone, 
the  most  absurd  of  all  prejudices  masqued  with  reason,  the  most  crimi- 
nal of  passions  covered  with  the  appearance  of  dut^,  which  seduced  them 
into  measures,  that  were  fatal  to  themselves,  and  had  so  nearly  proved 
fatal  to  their  country. 

The  lords  Blordaunt  and  Stourton,  two  catholics,  were  fined,  the 
former  ten  thousand  pounds,  the  latter  four  thousand,  by  the  Star- 
Chamber;  because  their  absence  from  parliament  had  begotten  a  suspicion 
of  their  being  acquainted  with  the  conspiracy.  The  earl  of  Northumber- 
land was  fined  thirty  thousand  pounds,  and  detained  several  years  pris- 
oner in  the  Tower;  because,  not  to  mention  other  grounds  of  suspicion, 
he  had  admitted  Piercy  into  the  number  of  gentlemen  pensioners,  without 
his  taking  the  requisite  oaths. 

The  king,  in  his  speech  to  the  parliament,  observed,  that  though 
religion  had  engaged  the  conspirators  in  so  criminal  an  attempt,  yet 
ought  we  not  to  involve  all  the  Roman  catholics  in  the  same  guilt,  or 
suppose  them  equally  disposed  to  commit  such  enormous  barbarities. 
Many  holy  men,  he  said,  and  our  ancestors  among  the  rest,  had  been 
seduced  to  concur  with  that  church  in  her  scholastic  doctrines;  who  yet 
had  never  admitted  her  seditious  principles,  concerning  the  pope's  power  of 
dethroning  kings,  or  sanctifiyng  assassination.  The  wrath  of  Heaven  is 
denounced  against  crimes,  but  innocent  error  may  obtain  its  favour;  and 
nothing  can  be  more  hateful  than  the  uncharitableness  of  the  puritans, 
who  condemn  alike  to  eternal  torments,  even  the  most  inoffensive  par- 
tisans of  popery.  For  his  part,  he  added,  that  conspiracy,  however 
atrocious,  should  never  alter,  in  the  least,  his  plan  of  government;  while 
with  one  hand  he  punished  guilt,  with  the  other  he  would  still  support 
and  protect  innocence.  (Hume). 


21.  The  Petition  of  Right  (1628). 

Some  of  the  stipulations  of  Magna  Charta  were  as  suitable  to  the 
necessities  of  after  ages  as  to  the  circumstances  of  that  period  to  which 


—  200  — 

it  owes  its  origin,  but  this  was  the  case  in  a  remarkable  degree  in  the 
reigns  of  James  I  and  Charles  I.  The  latter  monarch  especially  had  grossly 
violated  its  claims  in  manifold  instances.  He  had,  in  the  exercise  of  his 
own  will,  unlawfully  committed  persons  to  prison .  .  .  Instead  of  having- 
offenders  tried  by  a  jury,  they  were  brought  before  tribunals,  over 
which  he  exercised  unlimited  control:  these  were  the  Courts  of  High 
Commission  and  the  Star  Chamber  —  the  former  for  the  examination  of 
religious  offenders ....  And  to  raise  the  money  necessary  to  carry  on 
his  wars  on  the  continent,  when  he  found  the  Commons  unwilling  to 
vote  him  the  supplies,  he  extorted  money  from  the  people  in  so  many 
unlawful  ways  that  they  would  endure  it  no  longer.  The  commons  there- 
fore drew  up  a  petition,  which  asked  for  nothing  but  what  the  Magna 
Charta  conceded  to  them  as  a  right,  and  then  requested  Charles  to  give 
it  the  force  of  law  by  adding  to  it  his  signature.  The  King  tried  various 
mean  shifts  to  avoid  signing  the  paper,  but  the  sturdy  Commons  were 
determined,  and  Charles  was  at  length  compelled  to  sign.  It  was  passed 
in  1628. 

This  famous  document  has  always  been  known  as  the  Petition  of 
Right,  and  has  very  properly  been  prized  by  the  English  people  as  a  safe- 
guard to  tlieir  liberties  in  no  way  inferior  to  the  great  Charter  itself. 
Its  most  important  provisions,  stated  in  plain,  every  day  language,  are 
the  following: 

First.  It  was  declared  unlawful  to  molest  or  punish  any  person  for 
not  lending  money  to  the  King,  unless  required  to  do  so  by  Act  of  Par- 
liament. 

Secondly.  No  magistrate,  judge,  or  peace-officer,  was  allowed  to  put 
any  one  into  prison,  unless  some  clear  charge  could  be  made  against  him. 

Thirdly.  No  prisoner  should  be  refused  the  right  of  trial  by  jury. 

Fourthly.  Martial  law  was  declared  illegal,  in  the  case  of  all  offences 
which  properly  ought  to  come  before  the  courts  of  common  law. 

So  long  as  the  Courts  of  High  Commission  and  Star  Chamber  existed, 
however,  Charles  managed  to  make  all  these  obligations  of  none  effect. 


22.  The  Puritans. 

We  would  first  speak  of  the  Puritans,  the  most  remarkable  body  of 
men,  perhaps,  which  the  world  has  ever  produced.  The  odious  and  ridi- 


—  201  — 

culous  parts  of  the  character  lie  on  the  surface.  He  that  runs,  may  read 
them;  nor  have  there  been  wanting  attentive  and  malicious  observers  to 
point  them  out.  For  many  years  after  the  Restoration,  they  were  the 
theme  of  unmeasured  invective  and  derision.  They  were  exposed  to  the 
utmost  licentiousness  of  the  press  and  of  the  stage,  at  the  time  when 
the  press  and  the  stage  were  most  licentious.  They  were  not  men  of  let- 
ters; they  were,  as  a  body,  unpopular;  they  could  not  defend  themselves; 
and  the  public  would  not  take  them  under  its  protection.  They  were, 
therefore,  abandoned,  without  reserve,  to  the  tender  mercies  of  the  sa- 
tirists and  dramatists.  The  ostentatious  simplicity  of  their  dress,  their 
sour  aspect,  their  nasal  twang,  their  stiff  posture,  their  long  graces,  their 
Hebrew  names,  the  scriptual  phrases  which  they  introduced  on  every 
occasion,  their  contempt  of  human  learning,  their  detestation  of  polite 
amusements,  were  indeed  fair  game  for  the  laughers.  But  it  is  not  from 
the  laughers  alone  that  the  philosophy  of  history  is  to  be  learnt.  And  he 
who  approaches  this  subject  should  carefully  guard  against  the  influence  of 
that  potent  ridicule  which  has  already  misled  so  many  excellent  writers. 

Those  who  roused  the  people  to  resistance  —  who  directed  their 
measures  through  a  long  series  of  eventful  years  —  who  formed,  out  of 
the  most  unpromising  materials,  the  finest  army  that  Europe  had  ever 
seen —  who  trampled  down  king,  church,  and  aristocracy — who,  in  the 
short  intervals  of  domestic  sedition  and  rebellion,  made  the  name  of  Eng- 
land terrible  to  every  nation  on  the  face  of  the  earth,  were  no  vulgar 
fanatics.  Most  of  their  absurdities  were  mere  external  badges,  like  the 
signs  of  freemasonry,  or  the  dresses  of  friars.  We  regret  that  these  bad- 
ges were  not  more  attractive;  we  regret  that  a  body,  to  whose  courage 
and  talents  mankind  has  owed  inestimable  obligations,  had  not  the  lofty 
elegance  which  distinguished  some  of  the  adherents  of  Charles  I.,  or  the 
easy  good  breeding  for  which  the  court  of  Charles  II.  was  celebrated. 
But,  if  we  must  make  our  choice,  we  shall,  like  Bassanio  in  the  play, 
turn  from  the  specious  caskets  which  contain  only  the  Death's  head  and 
the  Fool's  head,  and  fix  our  choice  on  the  plain  leaden  chest  which  con- 
ceals the  treasure. 

The  Puritans  were  men  whose  minds  had  derived  a  peculiar  character 
from  the  daily  contemplation  of  superior  beings  and  eternal  interests.  Not 
content  with  acknowledging,  in  general  terms,  an  overruling  Providence, 
they  habitually  ascribed  every  event  to  the  will  of  the  Great  Being,  for 

26 


—  202  - 

whose  power  nothing  was  too  vast,  for  whose  inspection  nothing  was  too 
minute.  To  know  him,  to  serve  him,  to  enjoy  him,  was  with  them  the 
great  end  of  existence.  They  rejected  with  contempt  the  ceremonious 
homage  which  otlier  sects  substituted  for  the  pure  worship  of  the  soul. 
Instead  of  catcliing  occasional  glimpses  of  the  Deity  through  an  obscuring 
vail,  they  aspired  to  gaze  full  on  the  intolerable  brightness,  and  to  commune 
with  him  face  to  face/  Hence  originated  their  contempt  for  terrestrial 
distinctions.  The  difference  between  the  greatest  and  meanest  of  mankind 
seemed  to  vanish ,  when  compared  with  the  boundless  interval  which 
separated  the  whole  race  from  him  on  whom  their  own  eyes  were  constantly 
fixed.  They  recognized  no  title  to  superiority  but  his  favour;  and,  confident 
of  that  favour,  they  despised  all  the  accomplishments  and  all  the  dignities 
of  the  -world.  If  they  were  unacquainted  with  the  works  of  philosophers 
and  poets ,  they  were  deeply  read  in  the  oracles  of  God;  if  their  names 
were  not  found  in  the  registers  of  heralds ,  they  felt  assured  that  they 
were  recorded  in  the  Book  of  Life;  if  their  steps  were  not  accompanied 
by  a  splendid  train  of  menials ,  legions  of  ministering  angels  had  charge 
over  them.  Their  palaces  were  houses  not  made  with  hands;  their  diadems, 
crowns  of  glory ,  which  should  never  fade  away !  On  the  rich  and  the 
eloquent,  on  nobles  and  priests,  they  looked  down  with  contempt;  for 
they  esteemed  themselves  rich  in  a  more  precious  treasure,  and  eloquent 
in  a  more  sublime  language—  nobles  by  the  right  of  an  earlier  creation, 
and  priests  by  the  imposition  of  a^  mightier  hand.  The  very  meanest  of 
them  was  a  being  to  whose  fate  a  mysterious  and  terrible  importance 
belonged  —  on  whose  slightest  actions  the  spirits  of  light  and  darkness 
looked  with  anxious  interest  — who  had  been  destined,  before  heaven  and 
earth  were  created,  to  enjoy  a  felicity  which  should  continue  when  heaven 
and  earth  should  havepassedaway.  Events  which  short-sighted  politicians 
ascribed  to  earthly  causes,  had  been  ordained  on  his  account.  For  his 
sake,  empires  had  risen,  and  flourished,  and  decayed;  for  his  sake,  the 
Almighty  had  proclaimed  his  will  by  the  pen  of  the  evangelist,  and  the 
harp  of  the  prophet.  He  had  been  rescued  by  no  common  deliverer  from 
the  grasp  of  no  common  foe;  he  had  been  ransomed  hy  the  sweat  of  no 
vulgar  agony,  by  the  blood  of  no  earthly  sacrifice.  It  was  for  him  that 
the  sun  had  been  darkened,  that  the  rocks  had  been  rent,  that  the  dead 
had  arisen,  that  all  nature  had  shuddered  at  the  sufferings  of  her  expiring 
God !  (Macaulay).

23.   Habeas  Corpus  Act  (1679). 

The  object  of  this  Act  of  Parliament  was  to  prevent  any  one  from 
being  kept  in  prison  unlawfully,  and  unless  the  crime  with  which  he  was 
charged  could  be  fully  proved  against  him. 

The  great  importance  of  such  an  act  can  be  understood  even  by  a 
child,  if  he  will  consider  for  a  moment  what  could  be  the  effect  of  his 
own  father's  imprisonment  for  several  weeks  or  months  together.  Of 
course,  his  business  would  be  neglected,  his  wife  and  family  would  be 
left  to  starve,  and  very  likely  hisown  health  would  be  seriously  impaired. 

And  yet,  in  the  days  of  the  Tudors  and  Stuarts,  many  persons  of 
all  ranks  were  imprisoned,  merely  because  they  gave  some  slight  offence 
to  the  King  or  some  of  his  favorites,  although  they  were  guilty  of  no 
crime  whatever.  Moreover,  they  were  kept  in  prison  and  not  brought  to 
trial,  as  the  Magna  Charta  and  Petition  of  Right  demanded.  On  this  ac- 
count, the  parliament  resolved  upon  obtaining  a  distinct  law  to  prevent 
such  abuses  of  authority  for  the  future;  and  a  new  act  was  worded  in 
such  a  way  as  to  give  every  prisoner  a  right  to  what  is  called  a  writ  of 
habeas  corpus  —  Latin  words,  which  mean:  «Thou  mayst  have  the 
body».  When  this  writ  was  presented  to  the  jailor,  he  was  bound  to 
^ive  up  the  prisoner,  that  he  might  appear  before  the  judge  and  take 
his  trial. 

Now  let  us  suppose  a  man  to  be  charged  with  some  offence,  for  which  it 
is  considered  he  ought  to  be  punished  according  to  law.  He  is  taken  before 
a  magistrate,  and  if  the  magistrate  thinks  there  are  good  grounds  for  sending 
him  to  prison,  he  signs  a  warrant,  which  is  handed  to  the  jailor,  and  which 
authorises  the  jailor  to  keep  the  man  in  prison  till  another  notice  to  the 
contrary  is  received  . . .  The  prisoner  so  situated  now  applies  to  his  jailor 
for  a  copy  of  the  warrant,  by  authority  of  which  he  is  detained.  This  is 
sent  to  a  judge  who,  on  examining  the  warrant,  will  at  once  set  him 
at  liberty,  if  there  is  not  proper  cause  shown  why  he  should  be  detained... 
Or,  secondly,  he  bails  him,  that  is,  allows  him  to  go  at  large,  if  certain 
persons  of  good  character  will  give  security  for  his  appearance,  at  the 
quarter  sessions,  assizes  or  other  court  ...  Or,  thirdly,  he  will  re- 
mand him,  that  is,  send  him  to  prison  again  till  the  assizes,  etc., 
take  place,  when  he  would  be  tried  before  a  jury  of  his  own  countrymen

and  equals.    By  gradual  instalments  like  these  have  EnglishraeD  ob- 
tained their  liberties  and  privileges. 


24.  Earl  of  Nithsdale. 

Among  the  persons,  who  were  condemned  to  suffer,  for  their  share 
Id  attempting  to  place  the  pretender  on  the  British  throne,  in  1715,  was 
the  Earl  of  Nithsdale:  and  there  is  no  doubt  but  that  he  would  have 
shared  the  fate  of  the  Earl  of  Derwentwater  and  the  others,  who  had 
suffered,  had  not  his  amiable  wife  effected  his  escape.  This  circum- 
stance, exhibiting  so  strong  an  instance  of  courage  and  conjugal  affection, 
cannot  be  better  related,  than  in  the  following  extract  of  a  letter  from 
the  countess  of  Nithsdale  to  her  sister,  the  countess  of  Traquair,  in  1716. 

«The  next  morning  I  could  not  go  to  the  Tower,  having  so  many 
things  in  my  hands  to  put  in  readiness;  but  in  the  evening,  when  all 
was  ready,  I  sent  for  Mrs.  Mills,  with  whom  I  lodged,  and  acquainted 
her  with  my  design  of  attempting  my  lord's  escape,  as  there  was  no 
prospect  of  his  being  pardoned,  and  this  was  the  last  night  before  the 
execution.  I  told  her  that  I  had  every  thing  in  readiness,  and  that  I  trust- 
ed she  would  not  refuse  to  accompany  me,  that  my  lord  might  pass  for 
her.  I  pressed  her  to  come  immediately,  as  we  had  no  time  to  lose.  At 
the  same  time  I  sent  for  a  Mrs.  Morgan,  then  usually  known  by  the  name 
of  Hilton,  to  whose  acquaintance  my  dear  Evans  had  introduced  me,  and 
to  whom  I  immediately  communicated  my  resolution.  She  was  of  a  tall 
and  slender  make;  so  I  begged  her  to  put  under  her  own  ridinghood  onel 
had  prepared  for  Mrs.  Mills,  as  she  was  to  lend  hers  to  my  lord.  Mrs. 
Mills  was  then  corpulent,  so  that  she  was  not  only  of  the  same  height, 
but  nearly  the  same  size  as  my  lord.  When  we  were  in  the  coach  I  nev- 
er ceased  talking,  that  they  might  have  no  leisure  to  reflect.  Their  sur- 
prise and  astonishment,  when  I  first  opened  my  design  to  them,  had  made 
them  consent,  without  ever  thinking  of  the  consequences.  On  our  arrival 
at  the  tower,  the  first  I  introduced,  was  Mrs.  Morgan,  for  I  was  only 
allowed  to  take  one  in  at  a  time.  She  brought  in  the  clothes,  that  were 
to  serve  Mrs.  Mills,  when  she  left  her  own  behind  her.  When  Mrs.  Mor- 
gan had  taken  off,  what  she  had  brought  for  my  purpose,  I  conducted 
her  back  to  the  staircase,  and,  in  going,  I  begged  her  to  send  me  in  my 


i 


—  205  — 

maid  to  dress  me:  that  I  was  afraid  of  being  too  late  to  present  my  last 
petition,  that  night,  and  went  partly  downstairs  to  meet  Mrs.  Mills,  who 
had  the  precaution  to  hold  her  handkerchief  to  her  face,  as  was  very 
natural  for  a  woman  to  do,  who  was  going  to  bid  her  last  farewell  to  a 
friend,  on  the  eve  of  his  execution.  I  had  indeed  desired  her  to  do  it, 
that  my  lord  might  go  out  in  the  same  manner.  Her  eyebrows  were  rather 
inclined  to  be  sandy,  and  my  lord's  were  dark  and  very  thick;  however, 
I  had  prepared  some  paint  of  the  colour  of  hers  to  disguise  them;  I  also 
brought  an  artifical  head  dress  of  the  same  coloured  hair  as  hers,  and 
painted  his  face  with  white,  and  his  cheeks  with  rouge,  to  hide  his  long 
beard ,  which  he  had  not  had  time  to  shave.  All  this  provision  I 
had  before  left  in  the  tower.  The  poor  guards,  whom  my  slight  li- 
berality the  day  before,  had  endeared  me  to,  let  me  go  quietly  with 
my  company,  and  were  not  so  strictly  on  the  watch  as  they  usually 
had  been,  and  the  more  so,  as  from  what  I  had  told  them,  the  day  be- 
fore, they  were  persuaded  that  the  prisoners  would  obtain  their  pardon. 
I  made  Mrs.  Mills  take  off  her  own  hood,  and  put  on  that,  which  I  had 
brought  for  her;  I  then  took  her  by  the  hand,  and  led  her  out  of  my 
lord's  chamber;  in  passing  through  the  next  room,  in  which  there  were 
several  people,  with  all  the  concern  imaginable,  I  said:  My  dear  Mrs, 
Catherine,  go  in  all  haste,  and  s-end  me  my  waiting  maid;  she  certainly 
cannot  reflect  how  late  it  is;  she  forgets,  that  I  am  to  present  a  petition 
to  night,  aud  if  I  let  slip  this  opportunity  I  am  undone;  for  to-morrow  will 
be  too  late.  Hasten  her  as  much  as  possible;  for  I  shall  be  on  thorns  till  she 
comes.  Every  person  in  the  room,  chiefly  the  guards'  wives  and  daugh- 
ters, seemed  to  compassionate  me  exceedingly,  and  the  sentinel  offi- 
ciously opened  the  door.  When  I  had  seen  her  out,  I  returned  back  to  my 
lord,  and  finished  dressing  him.  I  had  taken  care  that  Mrs.  Mills  did 
not  go  out  crying,  as  she  came  in,  that  my  lord  might  the  better  pass  for 
the  lady,  who  came  in  crying  and  afflicted;  and  the  more  so,  because  he 
had  the  same  dress  on,  which  she  wore.  When  I  had  almost  finished 
dressing  my  lord  in  all  my  petticoats  excepting  one,  I  perceived  that  it 
was  growing  dark,  and  was  afraid  that  the  light  of  the  candles  might 
betray  us,  so  I  resolved  to  set  out.  I  went  out  leading  him  by  the  hand; 
and  he  held  his  handkerchief  to  his  eyes.  I  spoke  to  him  in  the  most 
piteous  and  afflicted  tone  of  voice,  beAvailing  bitterly  the  negligence  of 
Evans,  who  had  ruined  me  by  her  delay.  Then,  said  I,  my  dear  Mrs. 


—  206  — 

Betty,  for  tlie  love  of  God,  run  quickly  and  bring  her  with  you.  You 
know  my  lodging,  and  if  ever  you  made  despatch  in  your  life,  do  it  at 
present,  fori  am  almost  distracted  with  this  dasappointment.  The  guards 
opened  the  doors;  and  I  went  down  stairs  with  him,  still  conjuring  him 
to  make  all  possible  despatch.  As  soon  as  he  had  cleared  the  door,  I 
made  him  walk  before  me,  for  fear  the  sentinel  should  take  notice  of  his 
gait;  but  I  still  continued  to  press  him  to  make  all  the  haste  he  possibly 
could.  At  the  bottom  of  the  stairs  I  met  my  dear  Evans,  into  whose 
hands  I  confided  him.  I  had  before  engaged  Mr.  Mills  to  be  in  readi- 
ness, before  the  Tower,  to  conduct  him  to  some  place  of  safety,  in  case 
We  succeded.  He  looked  upon  the  affair  as  so  very  improbable  to  succeed, 
that  his  astonishment,  when  he  saw  us,  threw  him  into  such  consterna- 
ion,  that  he  was  almost  beside  himself,  which  Evans  perceiving,  without 
telling  him  any  thing,  lest  he  should  mistrust  them,  conducted  my  Lord 
to  some  of  her  own  friends,  on  whom  she  could  rely,  and  so  secured  him, 
without  which  we  should  have  been  undone.  When  she  had  conducted 
him,  and  left  him  with  them,  she  retarned  to  find  Mr.  Mills,  who  by 
this  time  had  recovered  himself  from  his  astonishment.  They  went 
home  together,  and  having  found  a  place  of  security,  they  conducted 
him  to  it». 

After  being  concealed  a  few  days  in  london,  the  Earl  passed  mih 
the  retinue,  and  in  the  livery  of  the  Venetian  ambassador,  to  Dover, 
where,  hiring  a  small  vessel,  he  escaped  to  Calais,  and  thence  travelled 
to  Rome,  where  he  died  in  the  year  ilii. 


25.   Stratagem   Signally  Defeated. 

A  few  days  after  the  battle  of  Falkirk  so  disastrous  to  the  English 
army,  Lord  Loudon  made  a  dashing  attempt  to  seize  the  Pretender  at 
Moy,  the  account  of  which  is  thus  narrated  by  the  Chevalier  Johnstone. 

On  the  16-th  of  February  the  prince  slept  at  Moy,  a  castle  belong- 
ing to  the  chief  of  the  clan  of  Mackintosh,  about  two  leagues  from  In- 
verness. Lord  Loudon,  lieutenant  general  in  the  service  of  King  George, 
and  a  colonel  of  a  regiment  of  Highlanders,  being  at  Inverness,  with 
about  two  thousand  regular  troops,  the  prince  intended  to  wait  the  arri- 


—  207  — 

val  of  the  other  column,  before  approaching  nearer  to  that  town.  In  the 
meantime,  Lord  Loudon  formed  the  project  of  seizing  by  surprise  the 
person  of  the  prince,  who  could  have  no  suspicion  of  any  attempt  of 
the  kind  ,  conceiving  himself  in  perfect  security  at  Moy ;  and  His 
Lordship  would  have  succeeded  in  his  design,  but  for  the  intervention 
of  that  invisible  being,  who  frequently  chooses  to  manifest  his  power, 
in  overturning  the  best  contrived  means  of  feeble  mortals.  His  Lord- 
ship, at  three  o'clock  in  the  afternoon,  posted  guards,  and  a  chain 
of  sentinels,  all  round  Inverness,  both  within  and  without  the  town, 
with  positive  orders  not  to  suffer  any  person  to  leave  it,  on  any  pretext 
whatever,  of  whatever  rank  the  person  might  be.  He  ordered,  at  the 
same  time,  fifteen  hundred  men  to  hold  themselves  in  readiness  to  march 
at  a  moment's  warning;  and  having  assembled  this  body  of  troops  without 
noise,  he  put  himself  at  their  head,  and  instantly  set  off,  planning  his 
march  so  as  to  arrive  at  the  castle  of  Moy  about  eleven  o'clock  at  night. 

Whilst  some  English  officers  were  drinking  in  the  house  of  Mrs. 
Baily,  an  innkeeper  of  Inverness,  and  passing  the  time  till  the  -hour  of 
their  departure,  her  daughter,  a  girl  of  about  thirteen  or  fourteen  years 
of  age,  who  happened  to  wait  on  them,  paid  great  attention  to  their 
conversation,  and,  from  certain  expressions  dropped  from  them,  she 
discovered  their  designs.  As  soon  as  this  generous  girl  was  certain  as  to 
their  intentions,  she  immediately  le'ft  the  house,  escaped  from  the  town 
notwithstanding  the  vigilance  of  the  sentinels,  and  took  the  road  to  Moy, 
running  as  fast  as  she  was  able,  without  shoes  or  stockings,  which,  to 
accelerate  her  progress,  she  had  taken  off,  in  order  to  inform  the  prince 
of  the  danger  that  menaced  him.  She  reached  Moy,  quite  out  of  breath, 
before  Lord  Loudon;  and  the  prince,  with  difficulty,  escaped  in  his  robe 
de  chambre,  nightcap  and  slippers,  to  the  neighbouring  mountains,  where 
he  passed  the  night  in  concealment.  The  dear  girl,  to  whom  the  prince 
owed  his  life,  was  in  great  danger  of  losing  her  own,  from  her  excessive 
fatigue  on  this  occasion;  but  by  the  care  and  attentions  she  experienced, 
her  health  was  re-established.  The  prince  having  no  suspicion  af  such  a 
daring  attempt,  had  very  few  people  with  him  in  the  castle  of  Moy. 

As  soon  as  the  girl  had  spread  the  alarm,  the  blacksmith  of  the 
village  of  Moy  presented  himself  to  the  prince,  and  assured  his  Royal 
Highness,  that  he  had  no  occasion  to  leave  the  castle,  as  he  would  ans- 
wer for  it  with  his  head,  that  Lord  Loudon  and   his  troops  should  be 


—  208  —  ■    ; 

obliged  to  return  faster  tlian  they  came.  The  prince  had  not  sufficient 
confidence  in  his  assurances,  to  neglect  seeking  safety  by  flight  to  the 
neighbouring  mountains.  However,  the  blacksmith,  for  his  own  satisfac- 
tion, put  his  project  into  execution.  He  instantly  assembled  a  dozen  of 
his  companions,  and  advanced  with  them  about  a  quarter  of  a  mile  from 
the  castle,  on  the  road  to  Inverness.  There  he  laid  an  ambuscade,  pla- 
cing six  of  his  companions  on  each  side  of  the  highway,  to  wait  the  ar- 
rival of  the  detachment  of  Lord  Loudon,  enjoining  them  not  to  fire,  tiU 
he  should  tell  them;  and  then  not  to  fire  together,  but  one  after  another. 
When  the  head  of  the  detachment  of  Lord  Loudon  was  opposite  the  twelve 
men,  about  eleven  o'clock  in  the  evening,  the  blacksmith  called  out, 
with  a  loud  voice:  «Here  come  the  villains,  who  intend  carrying  off  our 
prince;  fire,  my  lads,  do  not  spare  them,  give  no  quarter».  In  an  instant, 
muskets  were  discharged  from  each  side  of  the  road;  and  the  detachment 
seeing  their  project  had  taken  wind,  began  to  fly  in  the  greatest  disor- 
der; imagining,  that  the  whole  army  Avas  lying  in  wait  for  them.  Such 
was  their  terror  and  consternation,  that  they  did  not  stop  till  they  had 
reached  Inverness.  In  this  moment  did  a  common  blacksmith  and  twelve 
of  his  companions  put  Lord  Loudon  and  fifteen  hundred  of  his  regular 
troops  to  flight.  The  fifer  of  His  Lordship,  who  happened  to  be  at  the 
head  of  the  detachment,  was  killed  at  the  first  discharge;  and  the  de- 
tachment did  not  wait  for  a  second. 


26.  The  Country  Gentlemen,  Clergy,  and  Yeomanry. 

We  should  be  much  mistaken,  if  we  pictured  to  ourselves  the  squires 
of  the  seventeenth  century  as  men  bearing  a  close  resemblance  to  their 
descendants,  the  country  members  and  chairmen  of  quarter  sessions,  with 
whom  we  are  familiar.  The  modern  country  gentleman  generally  receives 
a  liberal  education,  passes  from  a  distinguished  school  to  a  distinguished 
college,  and  has  every  opportunity  to  become  an  excellent  scholar.  He 
has  generally  seen  something  of  foreign  countries.  A  considerable  part 
of  his  life  has  generally  been  passed  in  the  capital;  and  the  refinements 
of  the  capital  follow  him  into  the  country.  There  is  perhaps  no  class  of 
dwellings  so  pleasing  as  the  rural  seats  of  the  English  gentry.  In  the 
parks  and  pleasure  grounds,  nature,  dressed  but  not  disguised,  by  art, 


r 


—  209  — 

wears  her  most  alluring  form.  In  tlie  buildings,  good  sense  and  good 
taste  combine  to  produce  a  happy  union  of  the  comfortable  and  the 
graceful.  The  pictures,  the  musical  instruments,  the  library,  would  in 
any  other  country  be  considered  as  proving  the  owner  to  be  an  eminently 
polished  and  accomplished  man.  A  country  genleman  who  witnessed  the 
Revolution,  was  probably  in  receipt  of  about  a  fourth  part  ofjhe  rent 
which  his  acres  now  yield  to  his  posterity.  He  was,  therefore,  as  com- 
pared with  his  posterity,  a  poor  man,  and  was  generally  under  the  ne- 
cessity of  residing,  with  little  interruption,  on  his  estate.  To  travel  on 
the  Continent,  to  maintain  an  establishment  in  London,  or  even  to  visit 
London  frequently,  were  pleasures  in  which  only  the  great  proprietors 
could  indulge.  It  may  be  confidently  affirmed  that  of  the  squires,  whose 
names  were  then  in  the  Commissions  of  Peace  and  Lieutenancy,  not  one 
in  twenty  went  to  town  once  in  five  years,  or  had  ever  irhis  life  wan- 
dered so  far  as  Paris.  Many  lords  of  manors  had  received  an  education 
differing  little  from  that  of  their  menial  servants.  The  heir  of  an  estate 
often  passed  his  boyhood  and  youth  at  the  seat  of  his  family  with  no 
better  tutors  than  grooms  and  gamekeepers,  and  scarce  attained  learning 
enough  to  sign  his  name  to  a  Mittimus.  If  he  went  to  school  and  to  col- 
lege, he  generally  returned  before  he  was  twenty  to  the  seclusion  of  the  old 
hall,  and  there,  unless  his  mind  were  very  happily  constituted  by  nature, 
soon  forgot  his  academical  pursuits  in  rural  business  and  pleasure.  His 
chief  serious  employment  was  the  care  of  his  property.  He  examined 
samples  of  grain,  handled  pigs,  and,  on  market  days,  made  bargains, 
over  a  tankard,  with  drovers  and  hop  merchants.  His  chief  pleasures 
were  commonly  derived  from  field  sports  and  from  an  unrefined  sensual- 
ity. His  language  and  pronunciation  were  such  as  we  should  now  ex- 
pect to  hear  only  from  the  most  ignorant  clowns.  His  oaths,  coarse  jests, 
and  scurrilous  terms  of  abuse,  were  uttered  with  the  broadest  accent  of 
his  province.  It  was  easy  to  discern,  from  the  first  words  which  he  spoke, 
whether  he  came  from  Somersetshire  or  Yorkshire.  He  troubled  himself 
little  about  decorating  his  abode,  and  if  he  attempted  decoration,  seldom 
produced  anything  but  deformity.  The  litter  of  a  farm-yard  gathered 
under  the  windows  of  his  bed-chamber,  and  the  cabbages  and  gooseberry 
bushes  grew  close  to  his  hall  door.  His  table  was  loaded  with  coarse 
plenty;  and  guests  were  cordially  welcomed  to  it.  But,  as  the  habit  of 
drinking  to  excess  was  general  in  the  class  to  which  he  belonged,  and 

27 


-  210  — 

as  his  fortune  did  not  enable  him  to  intoxicate  large  assemblies  daily 
with  claret  or  canary,  strong  beer  was  the  ordinary  beverage.  The  quan- 
tity of  beer  consumed  in  those  days  was  indeed  enormous.  For  beer  then 
was  to  the.  middle  and  lower  classes,  not  only  all  that  it  now  is;  but  all 
that  wine,  tea,  aad  ardent  spirits  now  are.  It  was  only  at  great  houses, 
or  on  great  occasions,  that  foreign  drink  was  placed  on  the  board.  The 
ladies  of  the  house,  whose  business  it  had  commonly  been  to  cook  the 
repist,  retired  as  soon  as  the  dishes  had  been  devoured,  and  left  the 
gentlemen  to  their  ale  and  tobacco.  The  coarse  jollity  of  the  afternoon 
was  often  prolonged  till  the  revellers  were  laid  under  the  table. 

It  was  very  seldom  that  the  country  gentleman  caught  glimpses  of 
the  great  world;  and  what  he  saw  of  it  tended  rather  to  confuse  than 
to  enlighten  his  understanding.  His  opinions  respecting  religion,  govern- 
ment, foreign  countries,  and  former  times,  having  been  derived,  not  from 
study,  from  observation,  or  from  conversation  with  enlightened  compan- 
ions, but  from  such  traditions  as  were  current  in  his  own  small  circle, 
were  the  opinions  of  a  child.  He  adhered  to  them,  however,  with  the 
obslinacy  which  is  generally  found  in  ignorant  men  accustomed  to  be  fed 
with  flattery.  His  animosities  were  numerous  and  bitter.  He  hated 
Frenchmen  and  Italians,  Scotchmen  and  Irishmen,  Papists  and  Presbyte- 
rians, Independents  and  Baptists,  Quakers  and  Jews.  Towards  London 
and  Londoners  he  felt  an  aversion  which  more  than  once  produced  im- 
portant political  effects.  His  wife  and  daughter  were  in  tastes  and  ac- 
quirements below  a  housekeeper  or  a  still-room  maid  of  the  present  day. 
They  stitched  and  spun,  brewed  gooseberry  wine,  cured  marigolds,  and 
made  the  crust  for  the  venison  pasty. 

From  this  description  it  might  be  supposed  that  the  English  esquire 
of  the  seventeenth  century  did  not  materially  differ  from  a  rustic  miller  or 
alehouse  keeper  of  our  time.  There  are,  however,  some  important  parts 
of  his  character  still  to  be  noted,  which  will  greatly  modify  his  estimate. 
Unlettered  as  he  was,  he  was  still  in  some  most  important  points  a 
gentleman.  He  was  a  member  of  a  proud  and  powerful  aristocracy,  and 
was  distinguished  by  many  both  of  the  good  and  of  the  bad  qualities 
which  belong  to  aristocrats-  His  family  pride  was  beyond  that  of  a  Talbot 
or  a  Howard.  He  knew  the  genealogies  and  coats  of  arms  of  all  his  neigh- 
bours, and  could  tell  which  of  them  had  assumed  supporters  without  any

right,  and  which  of  them  were  so  unfortunate  as  to  be  great  grandsons 
of  aldermen.  He  was  a  magistrate,  and,  as  such,  administered  gratui- 
tously to  those  who  dwelt  around  him  a  rude  patriarchal  justice  which, 
in  spite  of  innumerable  blunders  and  of  occasional  acts  of  tyranny,  was 
yet  better  than  no  acts  at  all.  He  was  an  officer  of  the  trainbands;  and 
his  military  dignity,  though  it  might  move  the  mirth  of  gallants  who  had 
served  a  compaign  in  Flanders, raised  his  character  in  his  own  eyes  and 
in  the  eyes  of  his  neighbours.  Nor  indeed  was  his  soldiership  justly  a 
subject  of  derision.  In  every  county  there  were  elderly  gentlemen  who 
had  seen  service  which  was  no  child's  play.  One  had  been  knighted  by 
Charles  the  First,  after  the  battle  of  Edgehill.  Another  still  wore  a  patch 
over  the  scar  which  he  had  received  at  Naseby.  A  third  had  defended 
his  old  house  till  Fairfax  had  blown  in  the  door  with  a  petard.  The  pre- 
sence of  these  old  cavaliers,  with  their  old  swords  and  holsters,  and 
with  their  old  stories  about  Goring  and  Lunsford,  gave  to  the  musters  of 
militia  an  earnest  and  warlike  aspect  which  would  otherwise  have  been 
wanting.  Even  those  country  gentlemen  who  were  too  young  to  have 
themselves  exchanged  blows  with  the  cuirassiers  of  the  Parliament  had, 
from  childhood,  been  surrounded  by  the  traces  of  recent  war,  and  fed 
with  stories  of  the  martial  exploits  of  their  fathers  and  uncles.  Thus  the 
character  of  the  English  esquire  of  the  seventeenth  century  was  compound- 
ed of  two  elements  which  we  are  not  accustomed  to  find  united.  His 
ignorance  and  uncouthness,  his  low  tastes  and  gross  phrases,  would,  in 
our  time,  be  considered  as  indicating  a  nature  and  a  breeding  thoroughly 
plebeian.  Yet  he  was  essentially  a  patrician,  and  had,  in  large  measure, 
both  the. virtues  and  the  vices  which  flourish  among  men  set  from  their 
birth  in  high  place,  and  accustomed  to  authority,  to  observance,  and  to 
self-respect.  It  is  not  easy  for  a  generation,  which  is  accustomed  to  find 
chivalrous  sentiments  only  in  company  with  liberal  studies  and  polished 
manners,  to  imagine  to  itself  a  man  with  the  deportment,  the  vocabulary, 
and  the  accentof  a  carter,  yet  punctilious  on  matters  of  genealogy  and  prece- 
dence, and  ready  to  risk  his  life  rather  than  see  a  stain  cast  on  the  honour 
of  his  house.  It  was  however  only  by  thus  joining  together  things  seldom  or 
never  found  together  in  our  own  experience,  that  we  can  form  a  just 
idea  of  that  rustic  aristocracy  which  constituted  the  main  strength  of 
the  armies  of  Charles  the  First,  and  which  long  supported,  with  strange 
fidelity,  the  interest  of  his  descendants.

The  gross,  uneducated,  uutravelled  country  gentleman  was  com- 
monly a  Tory:  but,  though  devotedly  attached  to  hereditary  monarchy,  he 
had  no  partiality  for  courtiers  and  ministers.  He  thought,  not  without 
reason,  that  Whitehall  was  filled  Avith  the  most  currupt  of  mankind;  that 
of  the  great  sums  which  the  House  of  Commons  had  voted  to  the  crown 
since  the  Restoration,  part  had  been  embezzled  by  cunning  politicians, 
and  part  squandered  on  buffoons  and  foreign  courtesans.  His  stout  Eng- 
lish heart  swelled  with  indignation  at  the  thought  that  the  government 
of  his  country  should  be  subject  to  French  dictation.  Being  himself  ge- 
nerally on  old  Cavalier,  or  the  son  of  an  old  Cavalier,  he  reflected  with 
bitter  resentment  on  the  ingratitude  with  which  the  Stuarts  had  requited 
their  bests  friends.  Those  who  heard  him  grumble  at  the  neglect  with 
which  he  was  treated,  and  at  the  profusion  with  which  wealth  was  lav- 
ished on  the  bastards  of  NeH  Gwynn  and  Madam  Carwell,  would  have 
supposed  him  ripe  for  rebellion.  But  all  this  humour  lasted  only  till  the 
throne  was  really  in  danger.  It  was  precisely  when  those  whom  the  so- 
vereign had  loaded  with  wealth  and  honours  s.hrank  from  his  side  that 
the  country  gentlemen,  so  surly  and  mutinous  in  the  season  of  his  pros- 
perity, rallied  round  him  in  a  body.  Thus,  after  murmuring  twenty 
years  at  the  misgovernment  of  Charles  the  Second,  they,  came  to  his 
rescue  in  his  extremity,  when  his  own  Secretaries  of  State  and  Lords  of 
the  Treasury  had  deserted  him,  and  enabled  him  to  gain  a  complete 
victory  over  the  opposition;  nor  can  there  be  any  doubt  that  they  would 
have  shown  equal  loyalty  to  his  brother  James,  if  James  would,  even  at 
the  last  mom.ent,  have  refrained  from  outraging  their  strongest  feeling. 
For  there  was  one  institution,  and  one  only,  which  they  prized  even 
more  than  hereditary  monarchy;  and  that  institution  was  the  Church  of 
England.  Their  love  of  the  Church  was  not,  indeed,  the  effect  of  study 
and  meditation.  Few  among  them  could  have  given  any  reason,  drawn 
from  Scripture  or  Ecclesiastical  history,  for  adhering  to  her  doctrines, 
,  her  ritual,  and  her  polity;  nor  were  they,  ,as  a  class,  by  any  means 
strict  observers  of  that  code  of  morality,  which  is  common  to  all  Christian 
sects.  But  the  experience  of  many  ages  proves  that  men  may  be  ready 
to  fight  to  the  death,  and  to  persecute  without  pity,  for  a  religion  whose 
creed  they  do  not  understand,  and  whose  precepts  they  habitually  disobey. 
The  rural  clergy  were  even  more  vehement  in  Toryism  than  the 
rural  gentry,  and  were  a  class  scarcely  less  important.   It  is  to  be  ob- 


_   213  — 

served,  however,  that  the  individual  clergyman,  as  compared  with  the 
individual  gentleman,  then  ranked  much  lower  than  in  our  days.  The 
main  support  of  the  Church  was  derived  from  the  tithe;  and  the  tithe 
bore  to  the  rent  a  much  smaller  ratio  than  at  present.  King  estimated  the 
whole  income  of  the  parochial  and  collegiate  clergy  at  only  four  hundred 
and  eighty  thousand  pounds  a  year;  Davenant  at  only  five  hundred  and 
forty-four  thousand  a  year.  It  is  certainly  now  more  than  seven  times  as 
great  as  the  larger  of  these  two  sums.  The  average  rent  of  the  hind  has 
not,  according  to  any  estimate,  increased  proportionally.  It  follows  that 
rectors  and  vicars  must  have  been,  as  compared  with  the  neighbouring 
knights  and  squires,  much  poorer  in  the  seventeenth  than  in  the  nine- 
teenth century. 

The  place  of  the  clergyman  in  society  had  been  completely  changed 
by  the  Reformation.  Before  that  event,  ecclesiastics  had  formed  the  ma- 
jority of  the  House  of  Lords,  had,  in  wealth  and  splendour,  equalled  and 
sometimes  outshone,  the  greatest  of  the  temporal  barons,  and  had  gene- 
rally held  the  highest  offices.  The  Lord  Treasurer  was  often  a  Bishop. 
The  Lord  Chancellor  was  almost  always  so.  The  Lord  Keeper  of  the  Privy 
Seal  and  the  Master  of  the  Rolls  were  ordinarily  churchmen.  Churchmen 
transacted  the  most  important  diplomatic  business..  Indeed,  almost  all 
that  large  portion  of  the  administration,  which  rude  and  warlike  nobles 
were  incompetent  to  conduct,  was  considered  as  especially  belonging  to 
divines.  Men,  therefore,  who  were  averse  to  the  life  of  camps,  and  who 
were,  at  the  same  time,  desirous  to  rise  in  the  state,  ordinarily  receiv- 
ed the  tonsure.  Among  them  were  sons  of  all  the  most  illustrious  fami- 
lies, and  near  kinsmen  of  the  throne.  Scroops  and  Nevilles,  Bourchiers, 
Staffords,  and  Poles.  To  the  religious  houses  belonged  the  rents  of  im- 
mense domains,  and  all  that  large  portioii  of  the  tithe,  which  is  now  in 
the  hands  of  laymen.  Down  to  the  middle  of  the  reign  of  Henry  the  Eighth, 
therefore,  no  line  of  life  bore  so  inviting  an  aspect  to  ambitious  and  co- 
vetous natures  as  the  priesthood.  Then  came  a  violent  revolution.  The 
abolition  of  the  monasteries  deprived  the  Church  at  once  of  the  greater 
part  of  her  wealth,  and  of  her  predominance  in  the  Upper  House  of  Par- 
liament. There  was  no  longer  an  abbot  of  Glastonburg  or  an  Abbot  of 
Reading  seated  among  the  peers,  and  possessed  of  revenues  equal  to 
those  of  a  powerful  Earl.  The  princely  splendour  of  William  of  Wykeham 
and  of  William  of  Waynflete  had  disappeared.  The  scarlet  hat  of  the  Car- 


—  214  — 

dinal,  the  silver  cross  of  the  Legate,  were  no  more.  The  clergy  had  also 
lost  the  ascendancy  which  is  the  natural  reward  of  superior  mental  culti- 
vation. Once  the  circumstance  that  a  man  could  read  had  raised  a  pre- 
sumption that  he  was  in  orders.  But,  in  an  age  which  produced  such 
laymen  as  William  Cecil  and  Nicholas  Bacon,  Roger  Ascham  and  Thomas 
Smith,  Walter  Mildmay  and  Francis  Walsingham,  there  was  no  reason 
for  calling  away  prelates  from  their  dioceses  to  negotiate  treaties,  to 
superintend  the  finances,  or  to  administer  justice.  The  spiritual  character 
not  only  ceased  to  be  a  qualification  for  high  civil  office,  hut  began  to 
be  regarded  as  a  disqualification.  Those  worldly  motives,  therefore,  which 
had  formerly  induced  so  many  able,  aspiring  and  high  born  youths  to 
assume  the  ecclesiastical  habit,  ceased  to  operate.  Not  one  parish  in  two 
hundred  then  afforded  what  a  man  of  family  considered  as  a  mainte- 
nance. There  were  still  indeed  prizes  in  the  Church:  but  they  were  few; 
and  even  the  highest  were  mean,  when  compared  with  the  glory  which 
had  once  surrounded  the  princes  of  the  hierarchy.  The  state  kept  by  Par- 
ker and  Grindal  seemed  beggarly  to  those  who  remembered  the  imperial 
pomp  of  Wolsey,  his  palaces,  which  had  become  the  favourite  abodes  of 
royalty,  Whitehall  and  Hampton  Court,  the  three  sumptuous  tables  daily 
spread  in  his  refectory,  the  forty- four  gorgeous  copes  in  his  chapel,  his 
running  footmen  in  rich  liveries,  and  his  body  guards  with  gilded  pole- 
axes.  Thus  the  sacerdotal  office  lost  its.  attraction  for  i\\(i  higher  classes. 
During  the  century  which  followed  the  accession  of  Elizabeth,  scarce  a 
single  person  of  noble  descent  took  orders.  At  the  close  of  the  reign  of 
Charles  the  Second,  two  sons  of  peers  were  Bishops;  four  or  five  sons 
of  peers  were  priests,  and  held  valuable  preferment :  but  these  rare  ex- 
ceptions did  not  take  away  the  reproach  which  lay  on  the  body.  The 
clergy  were  regarded  as,  on  the  whole,  a  plebeian  class.  And,  indeed, 
for  one  who  made  the  figure  of  a  gentleman,  ten  were  mere  menial  ser- 
vants. A  large  proportion  of  those  divines,  who  had  no  benefices,  or 
whose  benefices  were  too  small  to  afford  a  comfortable  revenue,  lived  in 
the  houses  of  laymen.  It  had  long  been  evident  that  this  practice  tended 
to  degrade  the  priestly  character.  Laud  had  exerted  himself  to  effect  a 
change;  and  Charles  the  First  had  repeatedly  issued  positive  orders  that 
none  but  men  of  high  rank  should  presume  to  keep  domestic  chaplains. 
But  these  injunctions  had  become  obsolete.  Indeed,  during  the  domina- 
tion of  the  Puritans,  many  of  the  ejected  ministers  of  the  Church  of  Eng- 


—  215  — 

land  could  obtain  bread  and  shelter  only  by  cittaching  themselves  to  the 
households  of  royalist  gentlemen;  and  the  habits,  which  had  been  formed 
in  those  times  of  trouble,  continued  long  after  the  reestablisliment  of  mon- 
archy and  episcopacy.  In  the  mansions  of  men  of  liberal  sentiments  and 
cultivated  understandings,  the  chaplain  was  doubtless  treated  with  ur- 
banity and  kindness.  His  conversation,  his  literary  assistance,  his  spirit- 
ual advice,  were  considered  as  an  ample  return  for  his  food,  his  lodging, 
and  his  stipend.  But  this  was  not  the  general  feeling  of  the  country 
gentlemen.  The  coarse  and  ignorant  squire,  who  thought  that  it  belonged 
to  his  dignity  to  have  grace  said  every  day  at  his  table  by  an  ecclesiastic 
in  full  canonicals,  found  means  to  reconcile  dignity  with  economy.  A 
young  Levite  —  such  was  the  phrase  then  in  use  —  might  be  had  for 
his  board,  a  small  garret,  and  ten  pounds  a  year,  and  might  not  only 
perform  his  own  professional  functions,  might  not  only  be  the  most  pa- 
tient of  butts  and  of  listeners,  might  not  only  be  always  ready  in  fine 
weather  for  bowls,  and  in  rainy  weather  for  shovel-board,  but  might  also 
save  the  expense  of  a  gardener,  or  of  a  groom.  Sometimes  the  reverend 
man  nailed  up  the  apricots,  and  sometimes  he  curried  the  coach  horses. 
He  cast  up  the  farrier's  bills.  He  walked  ten  miles  with  a  message  or  a 
parcel.  He  was  permitted  to  dine  with  the  family;  but  he  was  expected 
to  content  himself  with  the  plainest  fare.  He  might  fill  himself  with  the 
corned  beef  and  the  carrots:  but,  as  soon  as  the  tarts  and  cheese  cakes 
made  their  appearance,  he  quitted  his  seat,  and  stood  aloof  till  he  was 
summoned  to  return  thanks  for  the  repast,  from  a  great  part  of  which 
he  had  been  excluded. 

Perhaps,  after  some  years  of  service,  he  was  presented  to  a  living 
sufficient  to  support  him:  but  he  often  found  it  necessary  to  purchase  his 
preferment  by  a  species  of  Simony,  which  furnished  an  inexhaustible 
subject  of  pleasantry  to  three  or  four  generations  of  scoffers.  With  his 
cure  he  was  expected  to  take  a  wife.  The  wife  had  ordinarily  been  in  the 
patron's  service;  and  it  was  well  if  she  was  not  suspected  of  standing  too 
high  in  the  patron's  favour.  Indeed,  the  nature  of  the  matrimonial  con- 
nections, which  the  clergymen  of  that  age  were  in  the  habit  of  forming, 
is  the  most  certain  indication  of  the  place  which  the  order  held  in  the 
social  system.  An  Oxonian,  writing  a  few  months  after  the  death  of  Char- 
les the  Second,  complained  bitterly,  not  only  that  the  country  attorney 
and  the  country  apothecary  looked  down  with  disdain  on  the  country

clergyman,  but  that  one  of  the  lessons  most  earnestly  inculcated  on  every 
girl  of  honourable  family  was  to  give  no  encouragement  to  a  lover  in  or- 
ders, and  that,  if  any  young  lady  forgot  this  precept,  she  was  almost  as 
much  disgraced  as  by  an  illicit  amour.  Clarendon,  who  assuredly  bore 
no  ill  will  to  the  Church,  mentions  it  as  a  sign  of  the  confusion  of  ranks, 
which  the  great  rebellion  had  produced,  that  some  damsels  of  noble  fa- 
milies had  bestowed  themselves  on  divines.  A  waiting  woman  was  gene- 
rally considered  as  the  most  suitable  helpmate  for  a  parson.  Queen  Eli- 
zabeth,' as  head  of  the  Church,  had  given  what  seemed  to  be  a  formal 
sanction  to  this  prejudice,  by  issuing  special  orders  that  no  clergyman 
should  presume  to  marry  a  servant  girl,  without  the  consent  of  the  master 
or  mistress.  During  several  generations  accordingly  the  relation  between 
priests  and  handmaidens  was  a  theme  for  endless  jest;  nor  would  it  be 
easy  to  find,  in  the  comedy  of  the  seventeenth  century,  a  single  instance 
of  a  clergyman  who  wins  a  spouse  above  the  rank  of  a  cook.  Even  so 
late  as  the  time  of  George  the  Second,  the  keenest  of  all  observers  of  life 
and  manners,  himself  a  priest,  remarked  that,  in  a  great  household,  the 
chaplain  was  the  resource  of  a  lady's  maid  whose  character  had  been 
bown  upon,  and  who  was  therefore  forced  to  give  up  hopes  of  catching 
the  steward. 

In  general  the  divine,  who  quitted  his  chaplainship  for  a  benefice  and 
a  wife,  found  that  he  had  only  exchanged  one  class  of  vexations  for  ano- 
ther. Not  one  living  in  fifty  enabled  the  incumbent  to  bring  up  a  family 
comfortably.  As  children  multiplied  and  grew,  the  household  of  the 
priest  became  more  and  more  beggarly.  Holes  appeared  more  and  more 
plainly  in  the  thatch  of  his  parsonage  and  in  his  single  cassock.  Often 
it  was  only  by  toiling  on  his  glebe,  by  feeding  swine,  and  by  loading 
dung-carts,  that  he  could  obtain  daily  bread;  nor  did  his  utmost  exer- 
tions always  prevent  the  bailiffs  from  taking  his  concordance  and  his 
inkstand  in  execution.  It  was  a  white  day  on  which  he  was  admitted 
into  the  kitchen  of  a  great  house,  and  regaled  by  the  servants  with  cold 
meat  and  ale.  His  children  were  brought  up  like  the  children  of  the  neigh- 
bouring peasantry.  His  boys  followed  the  plough;  and  his  girls  went  out 
to  service.  Study  he  found  impossible:  for  the  advowson  of  his  living 
would  hardly  have  sold  for  a  sum  sufficient  to  purchase  a  good  theologic- 
al library;  and  he  might  be  considered  as  unusually  lucky,  if  he  had 
ten  or  twelve  dog-eared  volumes  among  the  pots  and  pans  on  his  shelves. 


—  217  — 

Even  a  keen  and  strong  intellect  might  be  expected  to  rust  in  so  unfa- 
vourable a  situation. 

Assuredly  there  was  at  that  time  no  lack  in  the  English  Church  of 
ministers  distinguished  by  abilities  and  learning.  But  it  is  to  be  observed 
that  these-  ministers  were  not  scattered  among  the  rural  population.  They 
were  brought  together  at  a  few  places  where  the  means  of  acquiring 
knowledge  were  abundant,  and  where  the  opportunities  of  vigorous  in- 
tellectual exercise  were  frequent.  At  such  places  were  to  be  found  divines 
qualified  by  parts,  by  eloquence,  by  wide  knowledge  of  literature,  of 
science,  and  of  life,  to  defend  their  Church  victoriously  against  heretics 
and  sceptics,  to  command  the  attention  of  frivolous  and  worldly  congre- 
gations, to  guide  the  deliberations  of  senates,  and  to  make  religion  re- 
spectable, even  in  the  most  dissolute  of  courts.  Some  laboured  to  fathom 
the  abysses  of  metaphysical  theology;  some  were  deeply  versed  in  biblical 
criticism;  and  some  threw  light  on  the  darkest  parts  of  ecclesiastical  his- 
tory. Some  proved  themselves  consummate  masters  of  logic.  Some  cul- 
tivated rhetoric  with  such  assiduity  and  success  that  their  discourses  are 
still  justly  valued  as  models  of  style.  These  eminent  men  were  to  be 
found,  with  scarce  a  single  exception,  at  the  Universities,  at  the  great 
Cathedrals,  or  in  the  capital.  Barrow  had  lately  died  at  Cambridge;  and 
Pearson  had  gone  thence  to  the  episcopal  bench.  Cudworth  and  Henry 
More  were  still  living  there.  South  andPococke,  Jane  and  Aldrich,  were 
at  Oxford.  Prideaux  was  in  the  close  of  Norwich ,  and  Whitby  in  the 
close  of  Salisbury.  But  it  was  chiefly  by  the  London  clergy,  who  were 
always  spoken  of  as  a  class  apart,  that  the  fame  of  their  profession  for 
learning  and  eloquence  was  upheld.  The  principal  pulpits  of  the  metro- 
polis were  occupied  about  this  time  by  a  crowd  of  distinguished  men, 
from  among  whom  was  selected  a  large  proportion  of  the  rulers  of  the 
Church.  Sherlock  preached  at  the  Temple,  Tillotson  at  Lincoln's  Inn, 
Wake  and  Jeremy  Collier  at  Gray's  Inn,  Burnet  at  the  Rolls,  Stillingfleet 
at  St.  Paul's  Cathedral,  Patrick  at  St.  Paul's,  Covent  Garden,  Fowler  at 
St.  Giles's,  Cripplegate,  Sharp  at  St.  Giles's  in  the  Fields,  Tenison  at 
St.  Martin's,  Sprat  at  St.  Margaret's,  Beveridge  at  St.  Peter's  in  Corn- 
hill.  Of  these  twelve  men,  all  of  high  note  in  ecclesiastical  history,  ten 
became  Bishops,  and  four  Archbishops.  Meanwhile  almost  the  only  im- 
portant theological  works,  which  came  forth  from  a  rural  parsonage,  were 
those  of  George  Bull,  afterwards  Bishop  of  St.  David's;  and  Bull  never

would  have  produced  those  works,  had  he  not  inherited  an  estate,  by 
the  sale  of  which  he  was  enabled  to  collect  a  library,  such  as  probably  no 
other  country  clergyman  in  England  possessed. 

Thus  the  Anglican  priesthood  was  divided  into  two  sections  which, 
in  acquirements,  in  manners,  and  in  social  position,  differed  widely  from 
each  other.  One  section,  trained  for  cities  and  courts,  comprised  men 
familiar  with  all  ancient  and  modern  learning;  men  able  to  encounter  Hob- 
bes  or  Bossuet  at  all  the  weapons  of  controversy;  men  who  could,  in 
their  sermons,  set  forth  the  majesty  and  beauty  of  Christianity  with  such 
justness  of  thought,  and  such  energy  of  language,  that  the  indolent  Charles 
roused  himself  to  listen,  and  the  fastidious  Buckingham  forgot  to  sneer; 
men  whose  address,  politeness,  and  knowledge  of  the  world  qualified  them 
to  manage  the  consciences  of  the  wealthy  and  noble;  men  with  whom 
Halifax  loved  to  discuss  the  interests  of  empires,  and  from  whom  Dryden 
was  not  ashamed  to  own  that  he  had  learned  to  write.  The  other  section 
was  destined  to  ruder  and  humbler  service.  It  was  dispersed  over  the 
country,  and  consisted  chiefly  of  persons  not  at  all  wealthier,  and  not  much 
more  refined,  than  small  farmers  or  upper  servants.  Yet  it  was  in  these 
rustic  priests,  who  derived  but  a  scanty  subsistence  from  their  tithe  sheaves 
and  tithe  pigs,  and  who  had  not  the  smallest  chance  of  ever  attaining 
high  professional  honours ,  that  the  professional  spirit,  was  strongest. 
Among  those  divines  who  were  the  boast  of  the  Universities  and  the 
delight  of  the  capital,  and  who  had  attained,  or  might  reasonably  expect 
to  attain,  opulence  and  lordly  rank,  a  party,  respectable  in  numbers  and 
more  respectable  in  character,  leaned  towards  constitutional  principles  of 
government,  lived  on  friendly  terms  with  Presbyterians,  Independents, 
and  Baptists,  would  gladly  have  seen  a  full  toleration  granted  to  all  pro- 
testant  sects,  and  would  even  have  consented  to  make  alterations  in  the 
Liturgy,  for  the  purpose  of  conciliating  honest  and  candid  Nonconformits. 
But  such  latitudinarianism  was  held  in  horror  by  the  country  parson.  He 
was,  indeed,  prouder  of  his  native  gown  than  his  superiors  oftheir  lawn 
and  their  scarlet  hoods-  The  very  consciousness  that  there  was  little  in 
his  worldly  circumstances  to  distinguish  him  from  the  villagers  to  whom 
he  preached  led  him  to  hold  immoderately  high  the  dignity  of  that  sa- 
cerdotal office  which  was  his  single  title  to  reverence.  Having  lived  in 
seclusion,  and  having  had  little  opportunity  of  correcting  his  opinions 
|3y  reading  or  conversation,  he  held  and  taught  the  doctrines  of  indefeais- 


—  219  — 

ible  hereditary  right,  of  passive  obedience,  and  of  nonresistance  in  all 
their  crude  absurdity.  Having  been  long  engaged  in  a  petty  war  against 
the  neighbouring  dissenters,  he  too  often  hated  them  for  the  wrongs 
which  he  had  done  them,  and  found  no  fault  with  the  Five  Mile  Act  and 
the  Conventicle  Act,  except  that  those  odious  laws  had  no  sharper  edge. 
Whatever  influence  his  office  gave  him  was  exerted  with  passionate  zeal 
on  the  Tory  side;  and  that  influence  was  immense.  It  would  be  a  great 
error  to  imagine,  because  the  country  rector  was  in  general  not  regarded 
as  a  gentleman,  because  he  could  not  dare  to  aspire  to  the  hand  of  one 
of  the  young  ladies  of  the  manor  house,  because  he  was  not  asked  into 
the  parlours  of  the  great,  but  was  left  to  drink  and  smoke  with  grooms 
and  butlers,  that  the  power  of  the  clerical  body  was  smaller  than  at 
present.  The  influence  of  a  class  is  by  no  means  proportioned  to  the 
consideration  which  the  members  of  that  class  enjoy  in  their  individual 
capacity.  A  Cardinal  is  a  much  more  exalted  personage  than  a  begging 
friar:  but  it  would  be  a  grievous  mistake  to  suppose  that  the  College  of 
Cardinals  has  exercised  a  greater  dominion  over  the  public  mind  of  Eu- 
rope than  the  Order  of  Saint  Francis.  In  Ireland,  at  present,  a  peer  holds 
a  far  higher  station  in  society  than  a  Roman  Catholic  priest:  yet  there 
are  in  Munster  and  Cannaught  few  counties  where  a  combination  of  priests 
would  not  carry  an  election  against  a  combination  of  peers.  In  the  seven- 
teenth century  the  pulpit  was  to  a  large  portion  of  the  population  what 
the  periodical  press  now  is.  Scarce  any  of  the  clowns  who  came  to  the 
parish  church  ever  saw  a  Gazette  or  a  political  pamphlet.  Ill  informed 
as  their  spiritual  pastor  might  be,  he  was  yet  better  informed  than  them- 
selves :  he  had  every  week  an  opportunity  of  haranguing  them ;  and  his 
harangues  were  never  answered.  At  every  important  conjuncture,  invect- 
ives against  the  Whigs  and  exhortations  to  obey  the  Lord's  anointed 
resounded  at  once  from  many  thousands  of  pulpits;  and  the  effect  was 
formidable  indeed.  Of  all  the  causes  which,  after  the  dissolution  of  the 
Oxford  Parliament,  produced  the  violent  reaction  against  the  Exclusionists, 
the  most  potent  seems  to  have  been  the  oratory  of  the  country  clergy. 

The  power,  which  the  country  gentlemen  and  the  country  clergymen 
exercised  in  the  rural  districts,  was  in  some  measure  counterbalanced  by 
the  power  of  the  yeomanry,  an  eminently  manly  and  truehearted  race. 
The  petty  proprietors  who  cultivated  their  own  fields  with  their  own 
hands,  and  enjoyed  a  modest  competence,  without  affecting  to  have 


—  220  — 

scutcheons  and  crests,  or  aspiring  to  sit  on  the  bench  of  justice,  then 
formed  a  much  more  important  part  of  the  nation  than  at  present.  If  we 
may  trust  the  best  statistical  writers  of  that  age,  not  less  than  a  hundred 
and  sixty  thousand  proprietors,  who  with  their  families  must  have  made 
up  more  then  a  seventh  of  the  whole  population,  derived  their  subsistence 
from  little  freehold  estates.  The  average  income  of  these  small  landhold- 
ers, an  income  made  up  of  rent,  profit,  and  wages,  was  estimated  at 
between  sixty  and  seventy  pounds  a  year.  It  was  computed  that  the  num- 
ber of  persons  who  tilled  their  own  land  was  greater  than  the  number  of 
those  who  farmed  the  land  of  others.  A  large  portion  of  the  yeomanry 
had,  from  the  time  of  the  Reformation,  leaned  towards  Puritanismn,  had, 
in  the  civil  war,  taken  the  side  of  the  Parliament,  had,  after  the  Re- 
storation, persisted  in  hearing  Presbyterian  and  ludepended  preachers, 
had,  at  elections,  strenuously  supported  theExclusionists,and  had  contin- 
ued, even  after  the  discovery  of  the  Rye  House  plot  *)  and  the  pro- 
scription of  the  Whig  leaders,  to  regard  Popery  and  arbitrary  power  with 
unmitigated  hostility.  (Macaulay.) 

27.  Difficulty  of  Travelling. 

It  was  by  the  highways  that  both  travellers  and  goods  generally 
passed  from  place  to  place.  And  those  highways  appear  to  have  been 
far  worse  than  might,  have  been  expected  from  the  degree  of  Avealth 
and  civilisation,  which  the  nation  had  even  then  attained.  On  the  best 
lines  of  communication  the  ruts  were  deep ,  the  descents  precipitous , 
and  the  way  often  such  as  it  was  hardly  possible  to  distinguish ,  in 
the  dusk,  from  the  uninclosed  heath  and  fen  which  lay  on  both  sides. ' 
Ralph  Thoresby,  the  antiquary,  was  in  danger  of  losing  his  way  on 
the  great  North  road,  between  Barnby  Bloor  and  Tuxford,  and  actu- 
ally lost  his  way  between  Doncaster  and  York.  Pepys  and  his  wife, 
travelling  in  their  own  coach,  lost  their  way  between  Newbury  and 
Reading.  In  the  course  of  the  same  tour  they  lost  their  way  near  Sa-

lisbury,  and  were  in  danger  of  having  to  pass  the  night  on  the  plain. 
It  was  only  in  fine  weather  that  the  whole  breadth  of  the  road  was 
available  for  wheeled  vehicles.  Often  the  mud  lay  deep  on  the  right 
and  the  left;  and  only  a  narrow  track  of  firm  ground  rose  above  the 
quagmire.  At  such  times  obstructions  and  quarrels  were  frequent,  and 
the  path  was  sometimes  blocked  up  during  a  long  time  by  carriers, 
neither  of  whom  would  break  the  way.  It  happened,  almost  every  day, 
that  coaches  stuck  fast,  until  a  team  of  cattle  could  be  procured  from 
some  neighbouring  farm,  to  tug  them  out  of  the  slough.  But  in  bad 
seasons  the  traveller  had  to  encounter  inconveniences  still  more  serious. 
Thoresby,  who  was  in  the  habit  of  travelling  between  Leeds  and  the 
capital,  has  recorded,  in  his  Diary,  such  a  series  of  perils  and  dis- 
asters as  might  suffice  for  a  journey  to  the  Frozen  Ocean  or  to  the 
Desert  of  Sahara.  On  one  occasion  he  learned  that  the  floods  were  out 
between  Ware  and  London,  that  passengers  had  to  swim  for  their  li- 
ves, and  that  a  higgler  had  perished  in  the  attempt  to  cross.  In  con- 
sequence of  these  tidings  he  turned  out  of  the  high  road,  and  was 
conducted  across  some  meadows,  where  it  was  necessary  for  him  to 
ride  to  the  saddle  skirts  in  water.  In  the  course  of  another  journey 
he  narrowly  escaped  being  swept  away  by  an  inundation  of  the  Trent. 
He  was  afterwards  detained  at  Stamford  four  days,  on  account  of  the 
state  of  the  roads,  and  then  ventured  to  proceed  only  because  fourteen 
members  of  the.  House  of  Commons,  who  were  going  up  in  a  body 
to  Parliament  with  guides  and  numerous  attendants,  took  him  into  their 
company.  On  the  roads  of  Derbyshire  travellers  were  in  constant  fear 
for  their  necks,  and  were  frequently  compelled  to  alight  and  lead  their 
beasts.  The  great  route  through  Wales  to  Holyhead  was  in  such  a 
state  that,  in  1685,  a  viceroy,  going  to  Ireland,  was.  five  hours  in 
travelling  fourteen  miles,  from  Saint  Asaph  to  Conway.  Between  Con- 
way and  Beaumaris  he  was  forced  to  walk  great  part  of  the  way;  and 
his  lady  was  carried  in  a  litter.  His  coach  was,  with  great  difficulty, 
and  by  the  help  of  many  hands,  brought  after  him  entire.  In  general, 
carriages  were  taken  to  pieces  at  Conway,  and  borne,  on  the  shoul- 
ders of  stout  Welsh  peasants,  to  the  Menai  Straits.  In  some  parts  of 
Kent  and  Sussex  none  but  the  strongest  horses  could,  in  winter,  get 
through  the  bog,  in  which,  at  every  step,  they  sank  deep.  The  mar- 
kets were  often  inaccessible  during  several  months.  It  is  said  that  the 


-   222  — 

fruits  of  the  earth  were  sometimes  suffered  to  rot  in  one  place,  while 
in  another  place,  distant  only  a  few  miles,  the  supply  fell  far  short 
of  the  demand.  The  wheeled  carriages  were,  in  this  district,  generally 
pulled  by  oxen.  When  Prince  George  of  Denmark  visited  the  stately 
mansion  of  Petworth  in  wet  weather,  he  was  six  hours  in  going  nine 
miles;  and  it  was  necessary  that  a  body  of  sturdy  hinds  should  be 
on  each  side  of  his  coach,  in  order  to  prop  it.  Of  the  carriages  which 
conveyed  his  retinue  several  were  upset  and  injured.  A  letter  from 
one  of  his  gentlemen  in  waiting  has  been  preserved,  in  which  the  un- 
fortunate courtier  complains  that ,  during  fourteen  hours ,  he  never 
once  alighted ,  except  when  his  coach  was  overturned  or  stuck  fast 
in  the  mud. 

One  chief  cause  of  the  badness  of  the  roads  seems  to  have  been 
the  defective  state  of  the  law.  Every  parish  was  bound  to  repair  the 
highways  which  passed  through  it.  The  peasantry  were  forced  to  give 
their  gratuitous  labour  six  days  in  the  year.  If  this  was  not  sufficient, 
hired  labour  was  employed,  and  the  expense  was  met  by  a  parochial 
rate.  That  a  route  connecting  two  great  towns ,  which  have  a  large 
and  thriving  trade  with  each  other,  should  be  maintained  at  the  cost 
of  the  rural  population  scattered  between  them  is  obviously  unjust; 
and  this  injustice  was  peculiarly  glaring  in  the  case  of  the  great  North 
road ,  which  traversed  very  poor  and  thinly  inhabited  districts ,  and 
joined  very  rich  and  populous  districts.  Indeed  it  was- not  in  the  pow- 
er of  the  parishes  of  Huntingdonshire  to  mend  a  highway  worn  by 
the  constant  traffic  between  the  West  Riding  of  Yorkshire  and  London. 
Soon  after  the  Restoration  this  grievance  attracted  the  notice  of  Par- 
liament; and  an  act,  the  first  of  our  many  turnpike  acts,  was  passed, 
imposing  a  small  toll  on  travellers  and  goods,  for  the  purpose  of  keep- 
ing some  parts  of  this  important  line  of  communication  in  good  repair. 
This  innovation,  however,  excited  many  murmurs;  and  the  other  great 
avenues  to  the  capital  were  long  left  under  the  old  system.  A  change 
was  at  length  effected ,  but  not  without  much  difficulty.  For  unjust 
and  absurd  taxation  to  which  men  are  accustomed  is  often  borne  far 
more  willingly  than  the  most  reasonable  impost  which  is  new.  It  was 
not  till  many  toll  bars  had  been  violently  pulled  down,  till  the  troops 
had  in  many  districts'  been  forced  to  act  against  the  people,  and  till 
much  blood  had  been  shed,  that  a  good  system  was  introduced.  By 


—  223  — 

slow  degrees  reason  triumphed  over  prejudice ;  and  our  island  is 
now  crossed  in  every  direction  by  near  thirty  thousand  miles  of  turn- 
pike road. 

On  the  best  highways  heavy  articles  were,  in  the  time  of  Charles 
the  Second,  generally  conveyed  from  place  to  place  by  stage  waggons. 
In  the  straw  of  these  vehicles  nestled  a  crowd  of  passengers,  who  could 
not  afford  to  travel  by  coach  or  on  horseback,  and  who  were  prevented 
by  infirmity,  or  by  the  weight  of  their  luggage,  from  going  on  foot.  The 
expense  of  transmitting  heavy  goods  in  this  way  was  enormous.  From 
London  to  Birmingham  the  charge  was  seven  pounds  a  ton;  from  London 
to  Exeter  twelve  pounds  a  ton.  This  was  about  fifteen  pence  a  ton  for 
every  mile,  more  by  a  third  than  was  afterwards  charged  on  turnpike 
roads,  and  fifteen  times  what  is  now  demanded  by  railway  companies. 
The  cost  of  conveyance  amounted  to  a  prohibitory  tax  on  many  useful 
articles.  Coal  in  particular  was  never  seen  except  in  the  districts  where 
it  was  produced,  or  in  the  districts  to  which  it  could  be  carried  by  sea, 
and  was  indeed  always  known  in  the  south  of  England  by  the  name  of 
sea  coal. 

On  byroads,  and  generally  throughout  the  country  north  of  York  and 
west  of  Exeter,  goods  were  carried  by  long  trains  of  packhorses.  These 
strong  and  patient  beasts,  the  breed  of  which  is  now  extinct,  were  at- 
tended by  a  class  of  men  who  seem  to  have  borne  much  resemblance  to 
the  Spanish  muleteers.  A  traveller  of  humble  condition  often  found  it 
convenient  to  perform  a  journey  mounted  on  a  pack-sajjdle  between  two 
baskets,  under  the  care  of  these  hardy  guides.  Theexpence  of  this  mode 
of  conveyance  was  small.  But  the  caravan  moved  at  a  foot's  pace;  and 
in  winter  the  cold  was  often  insupportable. 

The  rich  commonly  travelled  in  their  own  carriages,  with  at  least 
four  horses.  Cotton,  the  facetious  poet,  attempted  to  go  from  London  to 
the  Peak  with  a  single  pair,  but  found  at  Saint  Albans  that  the  journey 
would  be  insupportably  tedious,  and  altered  his  plan.  A  coach  and  six 
is  in  our  time  never  seen,  except  as  part  of  some  pageant.  The  frequent 
mention  therefore  of  such  equipages  in  old  books  is  likely  to  mislead 
us.  We  attribute  to  magnificence  what  was  really  the  effect  of  a  very 
disagreeable  necessity.  People,  in  the  time  of  Charles  the  Second,  tra- 
velled with  six  horses,  because  with  a  smaller  number  there  was  great 
danger  "of  sticking  fast  in  the  mire.  Nor  were  even  six  horses  always 


■         —  224  — 

sufficient.  Vanbrough,  in  the  succeeding  generation,  described  with  great 
humour  the  way  in  which  a  country  gentleman,  newly  chosen  a  member 
of  Parliament,  went  up  to  London.  On  that  occasion  all  the  exertions 
of  six  beasts,  two  of  which  had  been  taken  from  the  plough,  could  not 
save  the  family  coach  from  being  imbedded  in  a  quagmire. 

Public  carriages  had  recently  been  much  improved.  During  the  years 
which  immediately  followed  the  Piestoration,  a  diligence  ran  between 
London  and  Oxford  in  two  days.  The  passengers  slept  at  Beaconsfield. 
At  length,  in  the  spring  of  1669,  a  great  and  daring  innovation  was 
attempted.  It  was  announced  that  a  vehicle ,  described  as  the  -Flying 
Coach,  would  perform  the  whole  journey  between  sunrise  and  sun- 
set. This  spirited  undertaking  was  solemnly  considered  and  sanc- 
tioned by  the  Heads  of  the  University,  and  appears  to  have  excited 
the  same  sort  of  interest  which  is  excited  in  our  own  time  by  the 
opening  of  a  new  railway.  The  Vicechancellor,  by  a  notice  affix- 
ed in  all  public  places,  prescribed  the  hour  and  place  of  departure. 
The  success  of  the  experiment  was  complete.  At  six  in  the  morn- 
ing the  carriage  began  to  move  from  before  the  ancient  front  of  All 
Souls  College :  and  at  seven  in  the  evening  the  adventurous  gentlemen 
who  had  run  the  first  risk  were  safely  deposited  at  their  inn  in  London. 
The  emulation  of  the  sister  University  was  moved;  and  soon  a  dili- 
gence was  set  up  which  in  one  day  carried  passengers  from  Cambridge 
to  the  capital.  At  the  close  of  the  reign  of  Charles  the  Second,  flying  car- 
riages ran  thrice  a  week  from  London  to  the  chief  towns.  But  no  stage 
coach,  indeed  no  stage  waggon,  appears  to  have  proceeded  further  north 
than  York,  or  further  west  than  Exeter.  The  ordinary  day's  journey  of  a 
flying  coach  was  about  fifty  miles  in  the  summer;  but  in  winter,  when 
the  ways  were  bad  and  the  nights  long,  little  more  than  thirty.  The 
Chester  coach,  the  York  coach,  and  the  Exeter  coach  generally  reached 
London  in  four  days  during  the  fine  season,  but  at  Christmas  not  till 
the  sixth  day.  The  passengers,  six  in  number,  were  all  seated  in  the 
carriage.  For  accidents  were  so  frequent  that  it  would  have  been  most 
perilous  to  mount  the  roof.  The  ordinary  fare  was  about  twopence 
halfpenny  a  mile  in  summer,  and  somewhat  more  in  winter. 

This  mode  of  travelling,  which  by  Englishmen  of  the  present  day  would 
be  regarded  as  insufferably  slow,  seemed  to  our  ancestors  wonderfully 
and  indeed  alarmingly  rapid-  In  a  work  published  a  few  months  before 


—  225  - 

tlie  death  of  Charles  the  Second,  the  flying  coaches  are  extolled  as 
far  superior  to  any  similar  vehicles  ever  known  in  the  world.  Their  ve- 
locity is  the  subject  of  special  conamendation,  and  is  triumphantly  con- 
trasted with  the  sluggish  pace  of  the  continental  posts.  But  with  boasts 
like  these  was  mingled  the  sound  of  complaint  and  invective.  The  inter- 
ests of  large  classes  had  been  unfavourably  affected  by  the  establishment 
of  the  new  diligences;  and,  as  usual,  many  persons  were,  from  mere  stu- 
pidity and  obstinacy,  disposed  to  clamour  against  the  innovation,  simply 
because  it  was  an  innovation.  It  was  vehemently  argued  that  this  mode 
of  conveyance  would  be  fatal  to  the  breed  of  horses  and  to  the  noble  art 
of  horsemanship;  that  the  Thames,  which  had  long  been  an  important  nur- 
sery of  seamen,  would  cease  to  be  the  chief  thoroughfare  from  London  up 
to  Windsor  and  down  to  Graveseud;  that  saddlers  and  spurriers  would  be 
ruined  hy  hundreds;  that  numerous  inns,  at  which  mounted  travellers  had 
been  in  the  habit  of  stopping,  would  be  deserted,  and  would  no  longer 
pay  any  rent;  that  the  new  carriages  were  too  cold  in  winter;  that  the 
passengers  were  grievously  annoyed  by  invalids  and  crying  children; 
that  the  coach  sometimes  reached  the  inn  so  late  that  it  was  impossible 
to  get  supper,  and  sometimes  started  so  early  that  it  was  impossible 
to  get  breakfast.  On  these  grounds  it  was  gravely  recommended  that  no 
public  carriage  should  be  permitted  to  have  more  than  four  horses,  to 
start  oftener  than  once  a  week,  or  to  go  more  than  thirty  miles  a  day. 
It  was  hoped  that,  if  this  regulation  were  adopted,  all  except  the  sick 
and  the  lame  would  return  to  the  old  mode  of  travelling-.  Petitions  em- 
bodying such  opinions  as  these  were  presented  to  the  King  in  council  from 
several  companies  of  the  City  of  London,  from  several  provincial  towns, 
and  from  the  justices  of  several  counties.  We  smile  at  these  things.  It 
is  not  impossible  that  our  descendants,  when  they  read  the  history  of  the 
opposition  offered  by  cupidity  and  prejudice  to  the  improvements  of  the 
nineteneth  century,  may  smile  in  their  turn. 

In  spite  of  the  attractions  of  the  flying  coaches,  it  was  still  usual 
for  men  who  enjoyed  health  and  vigour,  and  who  were  not  encum- 
bered by  much  baggage,  to  performing  journeys  on  horseback.  If  the 
traveller  wished  to  move  expeditiously  he  rode  post.  Fresh  saddle  horses 
and  guides  were  to  be  procured  at  convenient  distances  along  all  the 
great  lines  of  road.  The  charge  was  threepence  a  mile  for  each  horse, 
and  fourpence  a  stage  for  the  guide.  In  this  manner,  when  the  ways

were  good,  it  was  possible  to  travel,  for  a  considerable  time,  as  rapidly 
as  by  any  conveyance  known  in  England,  till  vehicles  were  propelled 
by  steam.  There  were  as  yet  no  post  chaises;  nor'  could  those  who 
rode  in  their  own  coaches  ordinarily  procure  a  change  of  horses.  The 
King,  however,  and  the  great  officers  of  state  were  able  to  command 
relays.  Thus  Charles  commonly  went  in  one  day  from  Whitehall  to 
Newmarket,  a  distance  of  about  fifty- five  miles  through  a  level  country; 
and  this  was  thought  by  his  subjects  a  proof  of  great  activity.  Evelyn 
performed  the  same  journey  in  company  with  the  Lord  Treasurer  Clifford. 
The  coach  was  drawn  by  six  horses,  which  were  changed  at  Bishop 
Stortfurd  and  again  at  Chesterford.  The  travellers  reached  Newmarket  at 
night.  Such  a  mode  of  conveyance  seems  to  have  been  considered  as 
a  rare  luxury  confined  to  princes  and  ministers. 

Whatever  might  be  the  way  in  which  a  journey  was  performed,  the 
travellers,  unless  they  were  numerous  and  well  armed,  ran  considerable 
risk  of  being  stopped  and  plundered.  The  mounted  highwayman,  a  ma- 
rauder known  to  our  generation  only  from  books,  was  to  be  found  on 
every  main  road.  The  waste  tracts  which  lay  on  the  great  routes  near 
London  were  especially  haunted  by  plunderers  of  this  class.  Hounslow 
Heath,  on  the  great  Western  Road,  and  Finchley  Common,  on  the  great 
Northern  Road,  were  perhaps  the  most  celebrated  of  these  spots.  The 
Cambridge  scholars  trembled  when  they  approached  Epping  Forest,  even 
in  broad  daylight.  Seamen  who  had  just  been  paid  off  at  Chatham  were 
often  compelled  to  deliver  their  purses  on  Gadshill,  celebrated  near  a 
hundred  year-s  earlier  by  the  greatest  of  poets  as  the  scene  of  the  depre- 
dations of  Poins  and  Falstaff.  The  public  authorities  seem  to  have  been 
often  at  a  loss  how  to  deal  with  the  plunderers.  At  one  time  it  was  an- 
nounced in  the  Gazette  that  several  persons,  who  were  strongly  suspected 
of  being  highv/aymcn,  but  against  whom  there  was  sufficient  evidence, 
would  be  paraded  at  Newgate  in  riding  dresses:  their  horses  would 
also  be  shown;  and  all  gentlemen  who  had  been  robbed  were  invited  to 
inspect  this  singular  exhibition.  On  another  occasion  a  pardon  was 
publicly  offered  to  a  robber,  if  he  would  give  up  some  rough  diamonds,  of 
immense  value,  which  he  had  taken  when  he  stopped  the  Harwich  mail. 
A  short  time  after  appeared  another  proclamation,  warning  the  innkeepers 
that  the  eye  of  the  government  was  upon  them.  Their  criminal  connivance, 
it  was  affirmed,  enabled  banditti  to  infest  the  roads  with  impunity.  That 


—  227  — 

these  suspicions  were  not  without  fundation,  isproved  by  the  dying  speech- 
es of  some  penitent  robbers  of  that  age,  who  appear  to  have  received 
from  the  innkeepers  services  much  resembling  those  which  Farquhar's 
Boniface  rendered  to  Gibbet. 

It  was  necessary  to  the  success  and  even  to  the  safety  of  the  high- 
wayman that  he  should  be  a  bold  and  skilful  rider,  and  that  his  manners 
and  appearance  should  be  such  as  suited  the  master  of  a  fine  horse.  He 
therefore  held  an  aristocratical  position  in  the  community  of  thieves,  ap- 
peared at  fashionable  coffee-houses  and  gaming-houses,  and  betted  with 
men  of  quality  on  the  race  ground.  Sometimes,  indeed,  he  was  a  man 
of  good  family  and  education.  A  romantic  interest  therefore  attached,  and 
perhaps  still  attaches,  to  the  names  of  freebooters  of  this  class.  The  vul- 
gar eagerly  drank  in  tales  of  their  ferocity  and  audacity,  of  their  occa- 
sional acts  of  generosity  and  good  nature,  of  their, amours,  of  their  mi- 
raculous escapes,  of  their  desperate  struggles,  and  of  their  manly  bear- 
ing at  the  bar  and  in  the  cart.  Thus  it  was  related  of  William  Nevison, 
the  great  robber  of  Yorkshire,  that  he  levied  a  quarterly  tribute  on  all  the 
northern  drovers,  and,  in  return,  not  only  spared  them  himself,  but  pro- 
tected them  against  all  other  thieves ;  that  he  demanded  purses  in  the 
most  courteous  manner ;  that  he  gave  largely  to  the  poor  what  he  had 
taken  from  the  rich;  that  his  life  was  once  spared  by  the  royal  clemency, 
but  that  he  again  tempted  his  fate,  and  at  length  died,  in  1685,  on  the 
gallows  of  York.  It  was  related  how  Claude  Duval,  the  French  page  of 
the  Duke  of  Richmond,  took  to  the  road,  became  captain  of  a  formidable 
gang,  and  had  the  honour  to  be  named  first  in  a  royal  proclamation 
against  notorious  offenders ;  how  at  the  head  of  his  troop  he  stopped  a 
lady's  coach,  in  which  there  was  a  booty  of  four  hundred  pounds;  how 
he  took  only  one  hundred,  and  suffered  the  fair  owner  to  ransom  the  rest 
by  dancing  a  coranto  with  him  on  the  heath;  how  his  vivacious  gallantry 
stole  away  the  hearts  of  all  women ;  how  his  dexterity  at  sword  and 
pistol  made  him  a  terror  to  all  men;  how,  at  length,  in  the  year  1670, 
he  was  seized  when  overcome  by  wine;  how  dames  of  high  rank  visited 
him  in  prison,  and  with  tears  interceded  for  his  life;  how  the  King  would 
have  granted  a  pardon,  but  for  the  interference  of  Judge  Morton,  the 
terror  of  highwaymen,  who  threatened  to  resign  his  office  unles  the  law 
were  carried  into  full  effect;  and  how,  after  the  execution,  the  corpse  lay 
in  state  with  all  the  pomp  of  scutcheons,  wax  lights,  black  hangings, 


—  228  — 

and  mutes,  till  the  same  cruel  Judge,  who  had  intercepted  the  mercy  of 
the  crown,  sent  officers  to  disturb  the  obsequies.  In  these  anecdotes  there 
is  doubtless  a  large  mixture  of  fable;  but  they  are  not  on  that  account 
unworthy  of  being  recorded;  for  it  is  both  an  authentic  and  an  important 
fact  that  such  tales,  whether  false  or  true,  were  heard  by  our  ancestors 
with  eagerness  and  failh. 

AH  the  various  dangers  by  which  the  traveller  was  beset  were  greatly 
increased  by  darkness.  He  was  therefore  commonly  desirous  of  having 
the  shelter  of  a  roof  during  the  night;  and  such  shelter  it  was  not  diffi- 
cult to  obtain.  From  a  very  early  period  the  inns  of  England  had  been 
renowned.  Our  first  great  poet  had  described  the  excellent  accommodation 
which  they  afforded  to  the  pilgrims  of  the  fourteenth  century.  Nine  and 
twenty  persons,  with  their  horses,  fpund  room  in  the  wide  chambers 
and  stables  of  the  Tabard  in  Southwark,  The  food  was  of  the  best,  and 
the  wines  such  as  drew  the  company  on  to  drink  largely.  Two  hundred 
years  later,  under  the  reign  of  Elizabeth,  William  Harrison  gave  a  lively 
description  of  the  plenty  and  comfort  of  the  great  hostelries.  The  Conti- 
nent of  Europe,  he  said,  could  show  nothing  like  them.  There  were  some 
in  which  two  or  three  hundred  people,  with  their  horses,  could  without 
difficulty  be  lodged  and  fed.  The  bidding,  the  tapestry,  above  all,  the 
abundance  of  clean  and  fine  linen  was  matter  of  wonder.  Valuable  plate 
was  often  set  on  the  tables.  Nay,  there  were  signs  which  had  cost  thirty 
or  forty  pounds.  In  the  seventeenth  century  England  abounded  with  ex- 
cellent inns  of  every  rank.  The  traveller  sometimes,  in  a  small  village, 
lighted  on  a  public  house  such  as  Walton  has  described,  where  the  brick 
floor  was  swept  clean,  where  the  walls  were  stuck  round  with  ballads, 
where  the  sheets  smelt  of  lavender,  and  where  a  blazing  fire,  a  cup  of 
good  ale,  and  a  dish  of  trouts  fresh  from  the  neighbouring  brook,  were 
to  be  procured  at  small  charge.  At  the  larger  houses  of  entertainment 
were  to  be  found  beds  hung  with  silk,  choice  cookery,  and  claret  equal 
to  the  best  which  was  drunk  in  London.  The  innkeepers  too,  it  was  said, 
were  not  like  other  innkeepers.  On  the  Continent  the  landlord  was  the 
tyrant  of  those  who  crossed  the  threshold.  In  England  he  was  a  servant. 
Never  was  an  Englishman  more  at  home  than  when  he  took  his  ease  in 
his  inn.  Even  men  of  fortune,  who  might  in  their  own  mansions  have 
enjoyed  every  luxury,  were  often  in  the  habit  of  passing  their  evenings 
in  the  parlour  of  some  neighbouring  house  of  public  entertainment.  They 


—  229  — 

seem  to  have  thought  that  comfort  and  freedom  could  in  no  other  place 
be  enjoyed  in  equal  perfection.  This  feeling  continued  during  many  gene- 
rations to  be  a  national  peculiarity.  The  liberty  and  jollity  of  inns  long 
furnished  matter  to  our  novelists  and  dramatists.  Johnson  declared  that  a 
tavern  chair  was  the  throne  of  human  felicity;  and  Shenstone  gently  com- 
plained that  no  private  roof,  however  friendly,  gave  the  wanderer  so 
warm  a  welcome  as  that  which  was  to  be  found  at  an  inn. 

Many  conveniences,  which  were  unknown  at  Hampton  Court  and 
Whitehall  in  the  seventeenth  century,  are  to  be  found  in  our  modern  ho- 
tels. Yet  on  the  whole  it  is  certain  that  the  improvement  of  our  houses 
of  public  entertainment  has  by  no  means  kept  pace  with  the  improvement 
of  our  roads  and  of  our  conveyances.  Nor  is  this  strange;  for  it  is  evi- 
dent that,  all  other  circumstances  being  supposed  equal,  the  inns  will  be 
best  where  the  means  of  locomotion  are  worst.  The  quicker  the  rate  of 
travelling,  the  less  important  is  it  that  there  should  be  numerous  agree- 
able resting  places  for  the  traveller.  A  hundred  and  sixty  years  ago  a 
person  who  came  up  to  the  capital  from  a  remote  county  generally  re- 
quired twelve  or  fifteen  meals,  and  lodging  for  five  or  six  nights  by  the 
way.  If  he  were  a  great  man,  he  expected  the  meals  and  lodging  to  be 
comfortable,  and  even  luxurious.  At  present  we  fly  from  York  or  Exeter 
to  London  by  the  light  of  a  single  winter's  day.  At  present,  therefore,  a 
traveller  seldom  interrupts  his  journey  merely  for  the  sake  of  rest  and 
refreshment.  The  consequence  is  that  hundreds  of  excellent  inns  have 
fallen  into  utter  decay.  In  a  short  time  no  good  houses  of  that  description 
will  be  found,  except  at  places  where  strangers  are  likely  to  be  detained 
by  business  or  pleasure. 

The  mode  in  which  correspondence  was  carried  on  between  distant 
places  may  excite  the  scorn  of  the  present  generation ;  yet  it  was  such 
as  might  have  moved  the  admiration  and  envy  of  the  polished  nations  of 
antiquity,  ,or  of  the  comtemporaries  of  Raleigh  and  Cecil.  A  rude  and 
imperfect  establishment  of  posts  for  the  conveyance  of  letters  had  been 
set  up  by  Charles  the  First,  and  had  been  swept  away  by  the  civil  war. 
Under  the  Commonwealth  the  design  was  resumed.  At  the  Restoration 
the  proceeds  of  the  Post  Office,  after  all  expenses  had  been  paid,  were 
settled  on  the  Duke  of  York.  On  most  lines  of  road  the  mails  went  out 
and  came  in  only  on  the  alternate  days.  In  Cornwall,  in  the  fens  of  Lin- 
colnshire, and  among  the  hills  and  lakes  of  Cumberland,  letters  were 


—  230  -- 

c 

received  only  once  a  week.  Daring  a  royal  progress  a  daily  post  was  de- 
spatched from  the  capital  to  the  place  where  the  court  sojourned.  There 
was  also  daily  communication  between  London  and  the  Downs ;  and  the 
same  privilege  was  sometimes  extended  to  Tunbridge  Wells  and  Bath  at 
the  seasons  when  those  places  were  crowded  by  the  great.  The  bags  were 
carried  on  horseback  day  and  night  at  the  rate  of  about  five  miles  an  hour. 

The  revenue  of  this  etablishment  was  not  derived  solely  from  the 
charge  for  the  transmission  of  letters.  The  Post  office  alone  was  entitled 
to  furnish  post  horses;  and,  from  the  care  with  which  this  monopoly  was 
guarded,  we  may  infer  that  it  was  found  profitable.  If,  indeed,  a  trav- 
eller had  waited  half  an  hour  without  being  supplied,  he  might  hire  a 
horse  wherever  he  could. 

To  facilitate  correspondence  between  one  part  of  London  and  another 
was  not  originally  one  of  the  objects  of  the  Post  Office.  But,  in  the  reign 
of  Charles  the  Second,  an  enterprising  citizen  of  London,  William  Dock- 
wray,  set  up,  at  great  expense,  a  penny  post,  which  delivered  letters 
and  parcels  six  or  eight  times  a  day  in  the  busy  and  crowded  streets 
near  the  Exchange,  and  four  times  a  day  in  the  outskirts  of  the  capital. 
This  improvement  was,  as  usual,  strenuously  resisted.  The  porters  com- 
plained that  their  interests  were  attacked,  and  tore  down  the  placards 
in  which  the  scheme  Avas  announced  to  the  public.  The  excitement  caused 
by  Godfrey's  death,  and  by  the  discovery  of  Coleman's  papers,  was  then 
at  the  height.  A  cry  was  therefore  raised  that  the  penny  post  was  a  Popish 
contrivance.  The  great  Doctor  Oates,  it  was  affirmed,  had  hinted  a  su- 
spicion that  the  Jesuits  were  at  the  bottom  of  the  scheme,  and  that  the 
bags,  if  examined,  would  be  found  full  of  treason.  The  utility  of  the 
enterprise  was,  however,  so  great  and  obvious  that  all  opposition  proved 
fruitless.  As  soon  as  it  became  clear  that  the  speculation  would  be  lu- 
crative, the  Duke  of  York  complained  of  it  as  infraction  of  his  monopoly, 
and  the  courts  of  law  decided  in  his  favour. 

The  revenue  of  the  Post  Office  was  from  the  first  constantly  increas- 
ing. In  the  year  of  the  Ptestoration  a  committee  of  the  House  of  Com- 
mons, after  strict  inquiry,  had  estimated  the  net  receipt  at  about  twenty 
thousands  pounds-  At  the  close  of  the  reign  of  Charles  the  Second, 
the  net  receipt  was  little  short  of  fifty  thousand  pounds;  and  this 
was  then  thought  a  stupendous  sum.  The  gross  receipt  was  about  seventy 
thousand  pounds.  The  charge  for  conveying  a  single  letter  was  twopence 


—  23i  — 

for  eighty  miles,  and  threepence  for  a  longer  distance.  The  postage  in- 
creased in  proportion  to  the  weight  of  the  packet.  At  present  a  single 
letter  is  carried  to  the  extremity  of  Scotland  or  of  Ireland  for  a  penny; 
and  the  monopoly  of  post  horses  has  long  ceased  to  exist.  Yet  the  gross 
annual  receipts  of  the  department  amount  to  more  than  eighteen  hundred 
thousands  pounds,  and  the  net  receipts  to  more  than  seven  hundred  thou- 
sand pounds.  It  is,  therefore,  scarcely  possible  to  doubt  that  the  number 
of  letters  now  conveyed  by  mail  is  seventy  times  the  number  which  was 
so  conveyed  at  the  time  of  the  accession  of  James  the  Second. 

No  part  of  the  load  which  the  old  mails  carried  out  was  more  import- 
ant than  the  newsletters.  In  1685  nothing  like  the  London  daily  paper 
of  our  time  existed,  or  could  exist.  Neither  the  necessary  capital 
nor  the  necessary  skill  was  to  be  found.  Freedom  too  was  wanting,  a 
want  as  fatal  of  either  capital  or  skill.  The  press  was  not  indeed  at  that 
moment  under  a  general  censorship.  The  licensing  act,  which  had 
been  passed  soon  after  the  Restoration,  had  expired  in  1679.  Any  per- 
son might  therefore  print,  at  his  own  risk,  a  history,  a  sermon,  or  a 
poem,  without  the  previous  approbation  of  any  public  officer;  but  the 
Judges  were  unanimously  of  opinion  that  this  liberty  did  not  extend  to 
Gazettes,  and  that,  by  the  common  law  of  England,  no  man,  not  author- 
ised by  the  crown,  had  a  right  to  publish  political  news.  While  the 
Whig  party  was  still  formidable,  the  government  thought  it  expedient 
occasionally  to  connive  at  the  violation  of  this  rule.  During  the  great 
battle  of  the  Exclusion  Bill,  many  newspapers  were  suffered  to  appear, 
the  Protestant  Intelligence,  the  Current  Intelligence,  the  Domestic  Intel- 
ligence, the  True  News,  the  London  Mercury.  None  of  these  was  publish- 
ed oftener  than  twice  a  week.  None  exceeded  in  size  a  single  small  leaf. 
The  quantity  of  matter,  which  one  of  them  contained  in  a  year,  was  not 
more  than  is  often  found  in  two  numbers  of  the  Times.  After  the  defeat 
of  the  Whigs  it  was  no  longer  necessary  for  the  King  to  be  sparing  in 
the  use  of  that  which  all  his  Judges  had  pronounced  to  be  his  undoubted 
prerogative.  At  the  close  of  his  reign  no  newspaper  was  suffered  to  ap- 
pear without  his  allowance:  and  his  allowance  was  given  exclusively  to  the 
London  Gazette.  The  London  Gazette  came  out  only  on  Mondays  and  Thurs- 
days. The  contents  generally  were  a  royal  proclamation,  two  or  three  Tory 
addresses,  notices  of  two  or  three  promotions,  an  account  of  a  skirmish  be- 
tween the  imperial  troops  and  the  Janissaries  on  the  Danube,  a  description  of 


—  232  — 

a  highwayman,  an  announcement  of  a  grand  cockfight  between  two  persons 
of  honour,  and  an  advertisement  offering  a  reward  for  a  strayed  dog. 
The  whole  made  up  two  pages  of  moderate  size.  Whatever  was  commu- 
nicated respecting  matters  of  the  highest  moment  was  communicated  in 
the  most  meagre  and  formal  style.  Sometimes,  indeed,  when  the  go- 
vernment was  disposed  to  gratify  the  public  curiosity  respecting  an  im- 
portant transaction,  a  broadside  was  put  forth  giving  fuller  details  than 
could  be  found  in  the  Gazette:  but  neither  the  Gazette  nor  any  supple- 
mentary broadside  printed  by  authority  ever  contained  any  intelligence 
which  it  did  not  suit  the  purposes  of  the  court  to  publish.  The  most  im- 
portant parliamentary  debates,  the  most  important  state  trials,  recorded 
in  our  history,  were  passed  over  in  profound  silence.  In  the  capital  the 
coffee-houses  supplied  in  some  measure  the  place  of  a  journal.  Thither  the 
Londoners  flocked,  as  the  Athenians  of  old  flocked  to  the  market  place, 
to  hear  whether  there  was  any  news.  There  men  might  learn  how  bru- 
tally a  Whig  had  been  treated  the  day  before  in  Westminster  Hall,  what 
horrible  accounts  the  letters  from  Edinburgh  gave  of  the  torturing  of 
Covenanters,  how  grossly  the  Navy  Board  had  cheated  the  crown  in  the 
victualling  of  the  fleet,  and  what  grave  charges  the  Lord  Privy  Seal  had 
brought  against  the  Treasury  in  the  matter  of  the  hearth  money.  But 
people  who  lived  at  a  distance  from  the  great  theatre  of  political  con- 
tention could  be  kept  regularly  informed  of  what  was  passing  there  only 
by  means  of  newsletters.  To  prepare  such  letters  became  a  calling  in 
London,  as  it  now  is  among  the  natives  of  India.  The  neAVSwriter  rambled 
from  coffee-room  to  coffee-room,  collecting  reports,  squeezed  himself 
into  the  Sessions  House  at  the  Old  Bailey  if  there  was  an  interesting 
trial,  nay,  perhaps  obtained  admission  to  the  gallery  of  Whitehall,  and 
noticed  how  the  King  and  Duke  looked.  In  this  way  he  gathered  materials 
for  weekly  epistles  destined  to  enlighten  some  county  town  or  some 
bench  of  rustic  magistrates.  Such  were  the  sources  from  which  the  inha- 
bitants of  the  largest  provincial  cities,  and  the  great  body  of  the  gentry 
and  clergy,  learned  almost  all  that  they  knew  of  the  history  of  their  own 
time.  We  must  suppose  that  at  Cambridge  there  were  as  many  persons 
curious  to  know  what  was  passing  in  the  world  as  at  almost  any  place  in 
the  kingdom,  out  of  London.  Yet  at  Cambridge,  during  a  great  part  of 
the  reign  of  Charles  the  Second,  the  Doctors  of  Laws  and  the  Masters  of 
Arts  had  no  regular  supply  of  news  except  through  the  London  Gazette. 


—  233  — 

At  length  the  services  of  one  of  the  collectors  of  intelligence  in  the  capital 
were  employed.  That  was  a  memorable  day  on  which  the  newsletter 
from  London  was  laid  on  the  table  of  the  only  coffee-room  in  Cambridge. 
At  the  seat  of  a  man  of  fortune  in  the  country  the  newsletter  was  im- 
patiently expected.  Within  a  week  after  it  had  arrived  it  had  been  thumb- 
ed by  twenty  families.  It  furnished  the  neighbouring  squires  with  matter 
for  talk  over  their  October,  and  the  neighbouring  rectors  with  topics  for 
sharp  sermons  against  Whiggery  or  Popery.  (Macaulay). 


2S.  England  in  1685,   and  England  in  1857. 

It  is  time  that  the  description  of  the  higher  classes  of  the  English 
whom  Charles  the  Second  governed  should  draw  to  a  close*).  Yet  one 
subject  of  the  greatest  moment  still  remains  untouched.  Nothing  has  as 
yet  been  said  of  the  great  body  of  the  people,  of  those  who  held  the 
ploughs,  who  tended  the  oxen,  who  toiled  at  the  looms  of  Norwich,  and 
squared  the  Portland  stone  for  Saint  Paul's.  Nor  can  very  much  be  said. 
The  most  numerous  class  is  precisely  the  class  respecting  which  we  have 
the  most  meagre  information.  In  those  times  philanthropists  did  not  yet 
regard  it  as  a  sacred  duty,  nor  had  demagogues  yet  found  it  a  lucrative 
trade,  to  expatiate  on  the  distress  of  the  labourer.  History  was  too  much 
occupied  with  courts  and  camps  to  spare  a  line  for  the  hut  of  the  peasant 
or  for  the  garret  of  the  mechanic.  The  press  now  often  sends  forth  in  a 
day  a  greater  quantity  of  discussion  and  declamation  about  the  condition 
of  the  working  man  than  was  published  during  the  twenty-eight  years 
which  elapsed  between  the  Restoration  and  the  Revolution.  But  it  would 
be  a  great  error  to  infer  from  the  increase  of  complaint  that  there  has 
been  any  increase  of  misery. 

The  great  criterion  of  the  state  of  the  common  people  is  the  amount 
of  their  wages;  and,  as  four  fifths  of  the  common  people  were,  in  the  se- 
venteenth century,  employed  in  agriculture,  it  is  especially  important  to 
ascertain  what  were  the  wages  of  agricultural  industry.  On  this  subject 


*)  In  the  preceding  part  of  his  History  of  England,  Macaulay  proves  beyond 
doubt,  that  the  higher  classes,  of  the  present  dayjare  in  every  respect  much  more 
moral,  much  more  humane,  much  more  intellectual  and  honourable  than  they  ever 
were  in  former  times.

we  have  the  means  of  arriving  at  conclusions  sufficiently  exact  for  our 
purpose. 

It  is  evident  that,  in  a  country  where  no  man  can  be  compelled  to 
become  a  soldier,  the  ranks  of  an  array  cannot  be  filled,  if  the  government 
offers  much  less  than  the  wages  of  common  rustic  labour.  At  present  the 
pay  and  beer  money  of  a  private  in  a  regiment  of  the  line  amount  to  seven 
shillings  and  seven  pence  a  week.  This  stipend,  coupled  with  the  hope  of  a 
pension,  does  not  attract  the  English  youth  in  sufficient  numbers;  and  it 
is  found  necessary  to  supply  the  deficiency  by  enlisling  largely  from 
among  the  poorer  population  of  Munster  and  Connaught.  The  pay  of  the 
private  foot  soldier  in  1685  was  only  four  shillings  and  eightpence  a 
week,  yet  it  is  certain  that  the  government  in  that  year  found  no  diffi- 
culty in  obtaining  many  thousands  of  English  recruits  at  very  short  notice. 
On  the  whole,  therefore,  it  seems  reasonable  to  conclude  that,  in  the  reign 
of  Charles  the  Second,  the  ordinary  wages  of  the  peasant  did  not  exceed 
four  shillings  a  week;  but  that,  in  some  parts  of  the  kingdom,  five  shil- 
lings, six  shillings,  and  during  the  summer  months,  even  seven  shillings 
were  paid.  At  present  a  district  where  a  labouring  man  earns  only  seven 
shillings  a  week  is  thought  to  be  in  a  state  shocking  to  humanity.  The 
average  is  very  much  higher;  and,  in  prosperous  counties ,  the  weekly 
wages  of  husbandmen  amount  to  twelve,  fourteen ,  and  even  sixteen  shillings. 

The  remuneration  of  workmen  employed  in  manufactures  has  always 
been  higher  than  that  of  the  tillers  of  the  soil.  In  the  year  1680,  a 
member  of  the  House  of  Commons  remarked  that  the  high  wages  paid  in 
this  country  made  it  impossible  to  maintain  a  competition  with  the  pro- 
duce of  the  Indian  looms.  An  English  mechanic,  he  said,  instead  of  slaving 
like  a  native  of  Bengal  for  a  piece  of  copper,  exacted  a  shilling  a  day. 
Olher  evidence  is  extant,  which  proves  that  a  shilling  a  day  was  the  pay 
to  which  the  English  manufacturer  then  thought  himself  entitled,  but  that 
he  was  often  forced  to  work  for  less.  A  ballad  of  that  epoch  describes 
the  good  old  times  when  every  artisan  employed  in  the  woolen  manufac- 
ture lived  as  well  as  a  farmer.  But  those  times  were  past.  Sixpence  a 
day  was  now  all  that  could  be  earned  by  hard  labour  at  the  loom.  If  the 
poor  complained  that  they  could  not  live. on  such  a  pittance,  they  were 
told  that  they  were  free  to  take  it  or  leave  it.  Whereas  in  our  days  the 
average  rate  of  wages  for  weavers  is  from  two  shillings  and  sixpence  to 
three  shillings  a  day. 


—  235  — 

It  may  here  be  noticed  that  tlie  practice  of  setting  children  premature- 
ly to  work,  a  practice  which  the  state,  the  legitimate  protector  of  those 
who  cannot  protect  themselves,  has,  in  our  time,  wisely  and  humanely 
interdicted,  prevailed  in  the  seventeenth  century  to  an  extent  Avhich, 
when  compared  with  the  manufacturing  system,  seems  almost  incredible." 
At  Norwich,  the  chief  seat  of  the  clothing  trade,  a  little  creature  of  six 
years  old  was  thought  fit  for  labour.  Several  writers  of  that  time,  and 
among  them  some  who  were  considered  as  eminently  benevolent,  mention, 
with  exultation,  the  fact  that  in  that  single  city  boys  and  girls  of  very 
tender  age  created  wealth  exceeding  what  was  necessary  for  their  own 
subsistence  by  twelve  thousand  pounds  a  year.  The  more  carefully  we 
examine  the  history  of  the  past,  the  more  reason  shall  we  find  to  dissent 
from  those  who  imagine  that  our  age  has  been  fruitful  of  new  social 
evils.  The  truth  is  that  the  evils  are,  with  scarcely  an  exception,  old. 
That  which  is  new  is  the  intelligence  which  discerns  and  the  humanity 
which  remedies  them. 

When  we  pass  from  the  weavers  of  cloth  to  a  different  class  of  arti- 
sans, our  inquiries  will  still  lead  us  to  nearly  the  same  conclusions.  During 
several  generations,  the  Commissioners  of  Greenwich  Hospital  have  kept  a 
register  of  the  wages  paid  to  different  classes  of  workmen  who  have  been 
employfed  in  the  repairs  of  the  building.  From  this  valuable  record  it  ap- 
pears that,  in  the  course  of  a  hundred  and  twenty  years,  the  daily  earnings 
of  the  bricklayer  have  risen  from  half  a  crown  to  four  and  tenpence,  those 
of  the  mason  from  half  a  crown  to  five  and  three  pence ,  those  of  the 
carpenter  from  half  a  crown  to  five  and  fivepence  and  those  of  the 
plumber  from  three  shillings  to  five  and  tenpence. 

It  seems  clear,  therefore,  that  the  wages  of  labour,  estimated  in 
money,  were,  in  1685,  not  more  than  half  of  what  they  now  are ;  and 
there  were  few  articles  important  to  the  working  man  of  which  the  price 
was  not,  in  1685,  more  than  half  of  what  it  is  now.  Beer  was  undoubt- 
edly much  cheaper  in  that  age  than  at  present.  Meat  was  also  cheaper, 
but  was  still  so  dear  that  hundreds  of  thousands  of  families  scarcely 
knew  the  taste  of  it.  In  the  cost  of  wheat  there  has  been  very  little 
change.  The  average  price  of  the  quarter,  during  the  last  twelve  years 
of  Charles  the  second,  was  fifty  shillings.  Bread,  therefore,  such  as  is 
now  given  to  the  inmates  of  a  workhouse,  was  then  seldom  seen,  even 
on  the  trencher  of  a  yeoman  or  of  a  shopkeeper.    The  great  majority  of 


—  236  — 

the  natioD  lived  almost  entirely  on  rye,  barley,  and  oats.  All  other  com- 
modities were  positively  dearer  than  at  present. 

Of  the  blessings  which  civilization  and  philosophy  bring  with  them  a 
large  proportion  is  common  to  all  ranks,  and  would,  if  withdrawn,  be 
missed  as  painfully  by  the  labourer  as  by  the  peer.  The  market  place 
which  the  rustic  can  now  reach  with  his  cart  in  an  hour  was,  a  hundred 
and  sixty  years  ago,  a  day's  journey  from  him.  The  streets  which  now 
afford  to  the  artisan,  during  the  whole  night,  a  secure,  a  convenient,  and 
a  brilliantly  lighted  walk  was,  a  hundred  and  sixty  years  ago,  so  dark  after 
sunset  that  he  would  not  have  been  able  to  see  his  hand,  so  ill  paved 
that  he  would  have  run  constant  risk  of  breaking  his  neck,  and  so  ill 
watched  that  he  would  have  been  in  imminent  danger  of  being  knocked 
down  and  plundered  of  his  small  earnings.  Every  bricklayer  who  falls 
from  a  scaffold,  every  sweeper  of  a  crossing  who  is  run  over  by  a  car- 
riage, may  now  have- his  wounds  dressed  and  his  limbs  set  with  a  skill 
such  as,  a  hundred-and  sixty  years  ago,  all  the  wealth  of  a  great  lord 
like  Ormond,  or  of  a  merchant  prince  like  Clayton  could  not  have  pur- 
chased. Some  frightful  disceases  have  been  extirpated  by  science;  and 
some  have  been  banished  by  the  police.  The  term  of  life  has  been  length- 
ened over  the  whole  kingdom,  and-  especially  in  the  towns.  The  year 
1685  was  not  accounted  sickly;  yet  in  the  year  1685  more  than  one  in 
twenty-three  of  the  inhabitants  of  the  capital  died.  At  present  only  one 
inhabitant  of  the  capital  in  forty-two  dies  annually.  The  difference  in 
salubrity  between  London  of  the  nineteenth  century  and  the  London  of 
the  seventeenth  century  is  very  far  greater  than  the  difference  between 
London  in  an  ordinary  season  and  London  in  the  cholera. 

The  prisons  in  those  times  were  hells  on  earth,  seminaries  of  every 
crime  and  of  every  disease.  At  the  assizes  the  lean  aud  yellow  culprits 
brought  with  them  from  their  cells  to  the  dock  an  atmosphere  of  pesti- 
lence, which  sometimes  avenged  them  signally  on  bench,  bar,  and  jury. 
But  on  all  this  misery  society  looked  with  profound  indifference.  Nowhere 
could  be  found  that  sensitive  and  restless  compassion  which  has,  in  our 
time,  extended  a  powerful  protection  to  the  factory  child,  to  the  Hindoo 
widow,  to  the  Negro  slave,  which  pries  into  the  stores  and  water-casks 
of  every  emigrant  ship,  which  winces  at  every  lash  laid  on  the  back  of 
the  drunken  soldier,  which  will  not  suffer  the  thief  in  the  hulks  to  be 
ill  fed  or  overworked,  and  which  has  repeatedly  endeavoured  to  save  the 


_  237  - 

life  of  the  murderer.  It  is  (rue  that  compassion  ougiit,  like  every  other 
feeling,  to  be  under  the  government  of  reason,  and  has,  for  vi^ant  of  such 
government,  produced  some  ridiculous  and  some  deplorable  effects.  But 
the  more  we  study  the  annals  of  the  past,  the  more  shall  we  rejoice  that 
we  live  in  a  merciful  age,  in  an  age  in  which  cruelty  is  abhorred,  and 
in  which  pain,  even  when  deserved,  is. inflicted  reluctantly  and  from  a 
sense  of  duty.  Every  class  doubtless  has  gained  largely  by  this  great 
moral  change:  but  the  class  which  has  gained  most  is  the  poorest,  the 
most  dependent,  and  the  most  defenceless. 

It  is  pleasing  to  reflect  that  the  public  mind  of  England  has  softened 
while  it  has  ripened,  and  that  we  have,  in  the  course  of  ages,  become 
not  only  a  wiser,  but  also  a  kinder  people.  There  is  scarcely  a  page  of 
the  history  or  lighter  literature  of  the  seventeenth  century  which  does  not 
contain  some  proof  that  our  ancestors  were  less  humane  than  their  post 
erity.  The  discipline  of  workshops,  of  schools,  of  private  families, 
though  not  more  efficient  than  at  present,  was  infinitely  harsher.  Mas- 
ters,  well  born  and  bred,  were  in  the  habit  of  beating  their  servants. 
Pedagogues  knew  no  way  of  imparting  knowledge  but  by  beating  their 
pupils.  Husbands,  of  decent  station,  were  not  ashamed  to  beat  their  wives. 

The  general  effect  of  the  evidence  which  has  been  submitted  to  the 
reader  seems  hardly  to  admit  of  doubt.  Yet,  in  spite  of  evidence,  many 
will  still  imagine  to  themselves  the  England  of  the  Stuarts  as  a  more 
pleasant  country  than  the  England  in  which  we  live.  It  may  at  first  seem 
strange  that  society,  while  constantly  moving  forward  with  eager  speed, 
should  be  constantly  looking  backward  with  tender  regret.  But  these  two 
propensities,  inconsistent  as  they  may  appear,  can  easily  be  resolved 
into  the  same  principle.  That  impatience.^  while  it  stimulates  us  to  sur- 
pass preceding  generations,  disposes  us  to  overrate  their  happiness.  It 
is,  in  some  sense  unreasonable  and  ungrateful  in  us  to  be  constantly  dis- 
contented with  a  condition  which  is  constantly  improving.  But,  in  truth, 
there  is  constant  improvement,  because  there  is  constant  discontent.  If 
we  were  perfectly  satisfied  with  the  present,  we  should  cease  to  contrive, 
to  labour,  and  to  save  for  the  future.  And  it  is  natural  that,  being  dis- 
satisfied with  the  present,  we  should  form  a  too  favourable  estimate  of 
the  past. 

In  truth  we  are  under  a  deception  similar  to  that  which  misleads 
the  traveller  in  the  Arabian  desert.  Beneath  the  caravan  all  is  dry  and 


—  238  — 

bare:  but  far  in  advance,  and  far  in  the  rear,  is  the  semblance  of  refresh- 
ing waters.  The  Pilgrims  hasten  forward  and  find  nothing  but  sand 
where,  an  hour  before,  they  had  seen  a  lake.  They  turn  their  eyes  and 
see  a  lake  where,  an  hour  before,  they  were  toiling  through  sand.  A  sim- 
ilar illusion  seems  to  haunt  nations  through  every  stage  of  the  long  pro- 
gress from  poverty  and  barbarism  to  the  highest  degrees  of  opulence  and 
civilization.  But,  if  we  resolutely  chase  the  mirage  backward,  we  shall 
find  it  recede  before  us  into  the  regions  of  fabulous  antiquity.  It  is  now 
the  fashion  to  place  the  golden  age  of  England  in  times  when  noblemen 
were  destitute  of  comforts  the  want  of  which  would  be  intolerable  to  a 
modern  footman,  when  farmers  and  shopkeepers  breakfasted  on  loaves, 
the  very  sight  of  which  would  raise  a  riot  in  a  modern  workhouse,  when 
men  died  faster  in  the  purest  country  air  than  they  now  die  in  the  most 
pestilential  lanes  of  our  large  towns,  and  when  men  died  faster  in  the 
lanes  of  our  towns  than  they  now  die  on  the  coast  of  Guinea  We  too 
shall,  in  our  turn,  be  outstripped,  and  in  our  turn  be  envied.  It  may  well 
be,  in  the  twentieth  century,  that  the  peasant  of  Dorsetshire  may  think 
himself  miserably  paid  with  fifteen  shillings  a  week ;  that  the  carpenter 
at  Greenwich  may  receive  ten  shillings  a  day;  that  labouring  men  may 
be  as  little  used  to  dine  without  meat  as  they  are  now  to  eat  rye  bread; 
that  sanitary  police  and  medical  discoveries  may  have  added  several  more 
years  to  the  average  length  of  hum^n  life;  that  numerous  comforts  and 
luxuries  which  are  now  unknown,  or  confined  to  a  few,  may  be  within 
the  reach  of  every  diligent  and  thrifty  working  man.  And  yet  it  may 
then  be  the  mode  to  assert  that  the  increase  of  wealth  and  the  progress 
of  science  have  benefitted  the  few  at  the  expense  of  the  many,  and  to 
talk  of  the  reign  of  Queen  Victoria  as  the  time  when  Englan-d  was  truly 
merry  England,  when  all  classes  were  bound  together  by  brotherly  sym- 
pathy, when  the  rich  did  not  grind  the  faces  of  the  poor,  and  when  the 
poor  did  not  envy  the  splendour  of  the  rich.

Sketches  from  the  British  Empire. 


I.  General  Physical  Features  of  Eugland, 

The  British  Empire  is  one  of  the  most  important,  powerful,  and  the 
largest  empires  of  the  globe.  It  includes  a  larger  population  than  any 
other  empire,  except  that  of  China.  Among  the  countries  subject  to  Brit- 
ish rule  are  territories  situated  in  every  quarter  of  the  globe;  some  of 
them  in  either  division  of  the  old  world,  others  within  the  limits  of  the 
western  hemisphere.  While  some  of  them,  again,  border  upon  the  north 
polar  circle,  and  touch  the  shores  of  the  Frozen  Ocean;  others  lie  within 
the  warm  belt  of  the  torrid  zone,  and  display  the  brilliant  vegetation  of 
the  tropics.  The  centre  of  the  British  empire  is  the  United  Kingdom  of 
Great  Britain  and  Ireland.  Of  the  principal  island  (Great  Britain), 
England  is  the  southern  and  larger  portion,  the  remaining  or  nothern 
part  being  Scotland. 

Eipgland  is  bounded  on  the  east  by  the  German  Ocean;  on  the  south, 
by  the  English  Channel,  separating  it  from  France;  and  on  the  west,  by 
St.  George's  Channel  and  the  Irish  Sea,  separating  it  from  Ireland. 
Scotland  adjoins  it  on  the  north.  The  shape  of  England  and  Wales  bears 
some  resemblance  to  that  of  a  triangle,  of  which  the  longest  side  is  to 
the  westward. 

At  the  straits  of  Dover  the  breadth  of  the  English  Channel  is  little 
more  than  twenty  miles.  In  clear  weather  the  opposite  shores  are  dis- 
tinctly visible.  It  has  been  supposed  that  this  narrow  passage  was  once 
closed  by  an  isthmus.  The  correspondence  between  the  rocks,  with  the 
fact  of  the  same  noxious  animals,  the  bear  and  the  wolf,  having  existed 
on  both  sides  of  the  straits,  are  the  chief  reasons,  assigned  for  the  sup- 
position. 

The  general  aspect  of  England  is  varied  and  delightful.  In  some 
parts  verdant  plains  extend  as  far  as  the  eye  can  reach,  watered  by  co- 
pious streams,  and  covered  by  innumerable  castles.  In  others,  the  pleas- 
ing vicissitudes  of  gently  rising  hills  and  bending  vales,  fertile  in  corn, 


—  240  — 

waving  with  wood,  and  interspersed  with  meadows,  offer  delightful 
landscapes  of  opulence  and  beauty.  Some  tracts  abound  with  prospects 
of  the  more  romantic  kind,  —  lofty  mountains,  craggy  rocks,  deep 
narrow  dells,  and  tumbling  torrents;  nor  are  there  wanting,  as  a  con- 
trast, the  gloomy  features  of  black  moors,  and  wide  uncultivated  heaths. — 
The  general  aspect  of  Wales,  as  distinguished  from  England,  is  bold, 
romantic,  and  mountainous.  It  consists  of  continued  ranges  of  lofty 
mountains,  and  impending  crags,  intersected  by  numerous  and  deep 
ravines  and  extensive  valleys. 

The  eastern,  central,  and  southern  parts  of  England  are  generally 
level,  presenting  only  a  few  chalk  ranges  and  picturesque  eminences, 
which  do  not  reach  any  considerable  elevation,  but  serve  to  diversify 
agreeably  the  surface  of  the  country.  But  around  the  estuary  of  the 
Wash,  there  is  an  extensive  tract  of  low,  flat  land,  extremely  monoto- 
nous, owing  to  the  large  amount  of  water  brought  down  by  the  rivers, 
their  very  slight  fall,  and  the  lowness  of  the  district,  it  is  naturally  ex- 
posed to  floods  from  heavy  rains,  and  to  inundations  of  the  sea,  requi- 
ring a  net- work  of  artificial  channels,  with  hydraulic  machinery,, to  pro- 
mote drainage,  and  embankments,  in  order  to  keep  the  waters  in  check. 
By  works  of  this  kind,  constructed  at  an  immense  expense,  a  region 
once  nearly  useless  toman,  consisting  of  stagnant  pools  and  spongy  earth, 
has  been  converted  into  rich  meadows  and  corn -bearing  lauds. 

From  the  Scottish  border,  a  range  of  mountains,  the  Cheviot  hills, 
extends  southward.  The  loftiest  point  is  Cross  Fell,  2901  feet  above 
the  sea.  Grander  highlands  are  clustered  on  the  west  of  this  range,  con- 
nected with  it.  The  most  prominent  elevation  is  the  Sea  Fell,  3166 
feet,  the  highest  point  of  England. 

The  Snowdon  «the  snow-clad  hil»  in  Wales,  forty  miles  in  circuit, 
attains  the  height  of  3571  feet,  and  is  the  most  elevated  point  of 
Wales. 

Owing  to  the  westerly  position  of  the  higher  elevations,  the  ge- 
neral slope  of  the  entire  country  is  towards  the  east;  and  hence  most 
of  the  important  Rivers  are  formed  in  that  direction,  flowing  to  the 
North  Sea.  These,  proceeding  from  north  to  south,  are  the  Tyne,  Wear, 
Tees,  Humber,  including  Trent  and  Ouse,  Yare,  Orwell,  and  Thames, 
with  Medway.  On  the  western  side  of  the  kingdom,  proceeding  from 
south  to  north ,  there  are  the  Parret ,  Severn  and  Wye ,  entering  the 


—  241  — 

Bristol  Channel;  the  Dee,  Mersey,  Ribble,  Lune,  and  Eden,  discharging 
into  the  Irish  sea.  On  the  south,  and  connected  with  the  English  Channel, 
passing  from  west  to  east,  there  are  the  Tamar,  the  Exe,  and  Salisbury 
Avon,  with  several  of  minor  note.  The  three  largest  examples  of  the 
whole,  are  the  Iluraber,  Severn  and  Thames. 

The  Humber  is  the  name  of  an  estuary,  formed  by  the  junction  of 
the  Trent  and  Ouse.  They  geographically  constitute  a  single  river  system, 
the  most  important  in  the  British  Isles  as  to  the  magnitude  of  its  basin, 
which  is  very  nearly  equal  to  one-sixth  of  the  total  area  of  England  and 
Wales.  The  Trent  is  the  longest  and  largest  tributary.  Its  name  is  said 
to  be  derived  from  its  containing  thirty  varieties  of  fish.  Where  it  is 
joined  by  the  Ousc,  the  estuary  of  the  Humber  commences,  varying  in 
breadth  from  two  to  four  miles.  Though  much  encumbered  with  shoals, 
there  is  a  main  channel  available  for  ships  of  the  largest  size  up  to  Hull, 
on  the  north  bank. 

The  Severn  w^ith  the  tributary  of  the  Bristol  Avon  is  the  longest 
river,  owing  to  its  circuitous  route,  for  its  actual  length  of  240  miles, 
is  twice  the  distance  from  source  to  mouth.  Few  of  the  English  rivers 
are  charged  with  such  an  amount  of  sediment,  owing  to  its  own  course, 
and  that  of  its  tributaries,  being  for  considerable  distance  through  tracts 
of  marl  and  soft  sandstone. 

The  Thames^  though  only  the  third  in  point  of  magnitude,  ranks 
the  first  as  a  tidal  river,  and  is  commercially  the  most  important  stream 
on  the  face  of  the  globe. 

Many  of  the  second  class  rivers  are  of  the  highest  commercial  value, 
as  the  Tyne,  Wear,  and  Tees,  for  the  shipment  of  coal;  and  the  Mersey 
for  its  noble  expansion,  before  reaching  the  sea,  facilitating  the  foreign 
trade  of  Liverpool.  It  flows  through  the  cotton  manufacturing  district; 
and  one  of  its  affluents,  the  Irwell,  on  which  Manchester  stands,  has 
been  aptly  styled,  « the  hardest- worked  river  in  the  world»,  from  the 
number  of  mills  and  factories  on  its  banks. 

The  upper  courses  of  most  of  the  northern  streams,  the  banks  of 
the  Dove  and  Derwent,  in  Derbyshire,  those  of  the  Dee,  Wye  and  Towy, 
in  Wales,  and  of  the  Tamar,  in  Cornwall,  are  renowned  for  their  fine 
scenery. 

The  Thames,  the  Mersey,  the  Severn,  and  the  Humber  are  connected 
by  Canals  and  thus  a  water  communication  is  maintained  between  Lon-

don,  Liverpool,  Bristol  and  Hull,  the  four  great  commercial  ports  of 
Great  Britain. 

The  subordinate  isles  of  any  important  extent  are  western  and  south- 
ern. They  consist  of  the  Isle  of  Man  in  the  Irish  sea,  nearly  midway 
between  England  and  Ireland,  with  judicial  institutions  and  revenue  laws 
peculiar  to  itself;  Anglesea,  on  the  north-west  coast  of  Wales,  and  one 
of  its  counties,  separated  from  the  mainland  by  the  Menai  Straits,  but 
now  connected  with  it  by  a  suspension,  and  a  tubular  bridge;  the  Scilly 
Isles,  to  the  west  of  the  Land's  End,  a  compact  group  of  from  one  to 
two  hundred  granitic  masses,  only  forty  of  which  have  herbage,  and  six 
are  inhabited ;  and  the  beautiful  Isle  of  Wight,  divided  from  the  main- 
land of  Hampshire  by  the  Channel  of  the  Solent,  and  the  great  naval 
road-stead  of  Spithead.  Besides  these,  there  are  the  Channel  Islands, 
consisting  of  Jersey,  Guernsey,  Alderney  and  others,  geographically 
belonging  to  France,  but  subject  to  the  English  crown  since  the  eleventh 
century;  and  the  Isle  of  Thauet,  off  the. coast  of  Kent. 

The  Lakes  are  few,  and  of  unimportant  size,  chiefly  confined  to  the 
Cumbrian  mountains,  where  they  occupy  deep  hollows  and  glens  between 
them.  But  they  are  very  celebrated  for  natural  beauty,  heightened  by 
cultivation  and  charming  residences  on  the  banks.  Windermere,  the 
largest,  is  ten  miles  long,  by  from  one  to  two  broad. 

The  climate  of  the  kingdom  is  remarkable  for  its  dense  fogs,  fre- 
quent rains  and  perpetual  change ;  but  it  is  also  noted  for  its  mildness, 
compared  with  that  of  continental  districts.  Not  only  is  the  mean  annual 
temperature  higher  from  ten  to  twenty  degrees  (Fahrenheit),  and  even 
more  in  some  instances,  but  the  seasons  are  never  iu  such  violent  con- 
trast. This  arises  from  the  vast  surrounding  expanse  of  ocean,  for  water 
every  where  preserves  a  more  uniform  temperatare  than  land,  from  the 
warm  current  of  the  Gulf  Stream;  and  the  prevailing  south  west  winds 
which  blow  up  from  the  direction  of  the  tropics.  The  western  sides,  both 
of  Great  Britain  and  Ireland,  are  warmer  than  the  eastern,  being  more 
exposed  to  the  influences  which  contribute  to  raise  the  temperatare.  On 
the  south  coast,  the  climate  is  remarkably  genial,  and  the  rich,  lasting 
verdure  there,  vies  with  that  of  any  other  country  in  Europe. 

The  snow  rarely  lies  upon  the  ground  more  than  two  or  three  days, 
the  sea-ports  of  England  are  never  known  to  suffer  the  inconvenience  of 
being  blocked  up  Avith  ice  during  winter  time.

The  soil  is  either  naturally  good,  or,  being  rendered  so  by  culture, 
is  capable  of  producing  all  the  valuable  kinds  of  grain,  in  abundance,  and 
of  excellent  quality.  Owing  to  the  nature  of  the  climate,  the  western 
districts  are  better  adapted  to  pasturage,  and  the  eastern  to  tillage.  In 
the  north,  there  are  still  extensive  moors,  which  have  hitherto  resisted 
all  the  improvements  of  agriculture.  Particular  attention  has  been  paid  in 
England  to  the  improving  of  the  breed  of  horses,  oxen,  and  sheep,  which 
are  perhaps  not  to  besurpassedby  those  of  any  other  country.  In  strength, 
spirit,,  swiftness,  docility,  and  beauty,  the  English  horses' yield  to  none 
in  the  world;  possessing,  as  they  do,  all  the  qualities  of  the  best  foreign 
breeds.  Race  horses  have  been  brought  to  the  highest  perfection. 

England  is  remarkably  rich  in  its  mineral  productions,  and  to  this  it 
is  indebted  in  a  great  measure  for  its  unparalleled  and  growing  prosperity. 
The  most  important  are  coal,  iron,  tin,  copper,  lead,  salt,  zinc,  slate, 
lime  and  clay. 

The  principal  coal  district  of  England  is  in  the  North;  another  stretch- 
ing for  about  a  hundred  miles  along  the  Bristol  Channel, 

The  south  coast,  including  that  of  the  Isle  of  Wight,  generally  con- 
sists of  chalky  cliffs,  constantly  mouldering  away  from  the  action  of 
the  sea. 

On  account  of  the  general  deficiency  of  hard  stone  near  the  surface, 
the  houses  throughout  the  greater  part  of  England  are  built  of  brick. 


II.  Civil  and  Ecclesiastical  State, 

The  government  of  the  United  Kingdom  of  Great  Britain  and  Ireland 
is  constitutional,  or  possesses  a  regular  form,  in  which  the  civil  rights 
of  all  classes  are  acknowledged  and  guaranteed.lt  is  a  limited  monarchy, 
consisting  of  King  or  Queen,  Lords,  and  Commons. 

In  early  times,  the  king  possessed  the  chief  influence,  while  the 
Parliament,  in  general,  was  rather  an  obsequious  council  of  the  sovereign 
than  an  independent  body.  At  the  Revolution  of  1688,  the  strength  of 
the  monarchy  was  diminished  by  a  breach  of  the  hereditary  line,  and 
the  Parliament  became  the  predominant  power.  As  the  nobility  and  su- 
perior gentry  had  then  the  chief  influence  in  both  Houses  of  Parliament, 


—  244  — 

it  might  be  said  that  the  aristocratic  principle  had  become  ascendant.  It 
continued  to  be  so  till  the  passing  of  the  Reform  Bill  in  1832,  when  the 
power  of  electing  the  majority  of  the  House  of  Commons  being  extended 
to  the  middle-classes  of  the  people,  the  democratic  principle  was,  for  the 
first  time,  brought  into  any  considerable  degree  offeree. 

The  sovereign  has  power  to  make  war  or  peace;  to  assemble  or  dis- 
solve parliament,  and  to  ratify  all  its  acts  by  his  assent.  He  appoints  all 
civil  and  military  authorities,  as  well  as  dignitaries  of  the  Church,  and 
can  increase  the  number  of  peers  at  pleasure  by  creating  new  ones.  He 
is  held  to  be  incapable  of  doing  wrong;  and  if  an  unlawful  act  be  done, 
the  minister  instrumental  in  that  act  is  alone  liable  to  punishment.  The 
succession  to  the  throne  is  hereditary;  but,  by  the  coronation  oath,  the 
sovereign  is  bound  to  govern  according  to  the  laws  of  the  realm,  and  to 
maintain  inviolate  the  Protestant  religion,  with  all  the  rights  and  privi- 
leges of  the  Church. 

The  House  of  Lords  is  composed  of  the  lords  spiritual  and  tempo- 
ral; the  former  of  whom  are  the  archbishops  and  bishops;  the  latter,  the 
dukes,  marquises,  earls,  viscounts,  and  barons  of  the  United  Kingdom. 
Peers  cannot  be  arrested  except  for  treason  and  some  other  high  offences, 
and  they  must  be  tried  by  a  jury  of  themselves,  who  give  their  verdict 
merely  upon  tbeir  honour.  The  peers  may  vote  by  proxy. 

The  Hou.te  of  Commons  is  composed  of  knights,  citizens,  and  bur- 
gesses, respectively  chosen  by  counties,  cities,  and  boroughs.  Its  mem- 
bers cannot  be  arrested  in  civil  causes  during  their  attendance  on  parlia- 
ment, nor  can  they  be  called  to  account  out  of  the  House  for  anything 
said  within  it.  Tiiey  posses  the  sole  right  of  regulating  the  collection 
and  distribution  of  the  public  money— it  being  recognised  as  a  principle, 
that  the  people  shall  not  be  taxed  but  by  their  own  consent  through  their 
representatives.  The  Commons  cannot  vote  by  proxy. 

A  bill  —  that  is,  any  proposed  measure  —  before  it  can  become 
the  law  of  the  land,  must  be  first  read  three  times  in  the  House  of  Com- 
mons, and  then  thrice  in  the  House  of  Lords,  obtaining  a  majority  of 
votes  on  each  reading;  and,  finally,  it  must  receive  the  royal  assent.  A 
rejected  bill  cannot  be  introduced  again  during  the  same  session. 

The  peculiar  boast  of  the  criminal  law  of  the  British  empire  is  Trial 
by  Jury.  In  England  and  Ireland,  where  the  principle  of  the  criminal  law 
requires  the  injured  party  or  his  representative  to  prosecute,  he  can  only 


—  245   - 

do  so  by  permission  of  a  jury  of  accusation,  called  the  Grand  Jury;  an- 
other jury  sits  for  the  purpose  of  deciding  whether  the  evidence  against 
the  accused  has  established  the  guilt.  These  juries  consist  in  England  of 
twelve  men  whose  verdict  must  be  unanimous.  In  Scotland,  there  is  no 
grand  jury,  and  there  the  jury  upon  the  charge  consists  of  fifteen  men, 
who  decide  by  a  majority  of  votes.  The  jury  is  an  institution  justly  con- 
sidered as  a  most  officient  protection  of  the  subject  from  the  vindictive- 
ness  of  power-  Civil  cases,  turning  upon  matters  of  fact,  are  also  decided 
by  juries  in  ail  parts  of  the  United  Kingdom. 

The  established  religion  in  England  and  Wales  is  the  Protestant,  and 
the  English  Church  is  under  the  government  of  two  archbishops  and 
twenty  six  bishops,  the  sovereign  being  its  supreme  head. 

In  Scotland,  the  established  form  of  worship  is  that  called  Presbyte- 
rian; the  ministers  of  the  Scotch  church  are  under  the  government  of  a 
body  called  the  General  Assembly.  There  is  likewise  in  Scotland  a  branch 
of  theEnglish  Episcopal  Church,  which  is  presided  over  by  seven  bishops. 

In  Ireland,  the  Established  Church  is  a  branch  of  the  English  (form- 
ing, with  it,  the  United  Church  of  England  and  Ireland),  and  is  governed 
by  two  archbishops  and  ten  bishops.  But  the  majority  of  the  people  of 
Ireland  are  members  of  the  Roman  Catholic  religion. 

There  are  numerous  dissenters  from  the  established  form  of  worship 
in  all  parts  of  the  United  Kingdom,  and  full  toleration  is  allowed  to  all 
persuasions. 

Branches  of  the  English  Church  exist  in  all  the  colonies  of  the  em- 
pire, and  are  under  the  government  of  bishops  of  the  Colonial  Church, 
all  the  principal  settlements  abroad  having  been  arranged  into  dioceses 
for  the  purpose. 


Ill,  National  Character  —  Language,  Literature,  Arts, 

and   Sciences. 

The  predominant  feature  in  the  Character  of  the  English  is  an 
ardent  love  of  liberty,  which  renders  them  extremely  tenacious  of  their 
civil  rights,  stern  advocates  of  justice,  and  patriotic  in  the  highe:^t  de- 
gree. In  their  manners^  they  are  grave  rather  than  gay,  blunt  rather  than 


—  246  — 

ceremonioos;  in  their  habits,  they  are  enterprising,  industrious,  and  pro- 
vident; in  their  feelings,  humane;  in  mercantile  transactions  generally 
the  greatest  integrity  exists,  and  promises  are  faithfully  performed;  in. 
the  middle  and  upper  classes,  the  highest  civilisation  prevails,  and  all 
the  social  virtues  and  comforts  of  domestic  life  are  sedulously  cultivated. 
There  are  some  fovourite  field-sports  and  boisterous  amusements;  but 
the  enjoyments  of  the  English  are  chiefly  within  doors  in  their  own  well- 
regulated  homes.  A  love  of  home  is  a  marked  peculiarity  in  the  affections 
of  the  English. 

The  Welsh^  the  descendants  of  the  ancient  Britons,  are  said  to  be 
choleric,  but  brave,  kind-hearted,  and  hospitable.  Their  minds  are  also 
said  to  be  tinged  with  superstitious  notions,  supposed  to  be  in  some 
measure  owing  to  the  wild  mountain  scenery  of  their  country. 

The  English  language  is,  radically,  of  a  twofold  origin, being  derived 
from  the  Teutonic  through  the  Anglo-Saxons  and  the  Danes,  and  from 
the  Latin  through  the  Norman-French.  But  although  principally  based 
upon  the  Anglo-Saxon,  it  may  be  said  in  its  present  state  to  be  com- 
pounded, more  or  less,  of  many  European  tongues-  Its  construction  is 
simple,  but  its  pronanciation,  on  account  of  the  variety  of  sounds  to  the 
same  letters,  is  perhaps  the  most  difficult,  especially  to  foreigners,  of  all 
modern  languages. 

The  language  spoken  by  the  original  inhabitants  of  Britain  was  nearly 
related  to  that  now  spoken  by  the  Welsh. 

England  has  long  borne  a  distinguished  part  in  the  literary  and 
scientific  world.  In  the  various  departments  of  philosophy,  poetry,  and 
history,  it  can  number  many  illustrious  authors;  some  of  matchless  ex- 
cellence. A  similar  distinction  marks  the  cultivation  of  those  arts  and 
sciences  which  refine  and  embellish  the  social  state,  as  well  as  add  to 
its  comforts  and  conveniences.  Institutions  for  the  encouragement  of 
every  description  of  knowledge,  are  established  throughout  the  country 
on  the  most  liberal  principles.  Literature  flourishes  in  England  not  only 
from  the  intelligence  of  the  people,  but  because  the  press  is  free. 

The  dawn  of  English  literature  may  be  dated  about  the  middle 
of  the  fourteenth  century;  in  the  reign  of  Elizabeth  it  was  in  a  flourish- 
ing state;  and  from  that  period  a  numerous  train  of  literary  and  scientific 
men  swell  the  page  of  biography. 


—  247  — 

The  chief  institutions  for  education  in  England  are  —  the  ancient 
national  universities  of  Oxford  and  Cambridge ;  the  more  recent  colleges 
of  London,  Durham,  and  Lampeter  in  Wales;  the  classical  schools  of 
Eton,  Westminster,  Winchester,  Harrow,  Charterhouse,  and  Rugby ;  the 
military  college  of  Sandhurst;  the  colleges  of  various  dissenting  denomi- 
nations; and  the  elementary  schools  of  the  National  and  British  and  For- 
eign Societies.  There  are  numerous  schools  for  elementary  instruction, 
which,  are  conducted  by  private  exertion,  and  supported  by  fees,  along 
with,  in  some  instances,  aid  from  the  state.  After  all  that  is  done,  how- 
ever, there  is  still  a  great  and  lamentable  deficiency  in  educational  esta- 
blishments. 


IV.   The  City  of  London. 

London,  the  capital  of  the  British  empire,  and  the  most  important 
commercial  city  on  the  globe,  is  situated  on  both  sides  of  the  river 
Thames,  in  the  counties  of  Middlesex  and  Surrey.  It  extends  nearly  ten 
miles  in  length,  from  east  to  west,  and  covers  more  than  sixty  square 
miles  of  country.  The  number  of  inhabitants  amounts  to  more  than 
3  millions.  Its  general  form  is  oval.  There  are  from  twelve  thousand 
to  thirteen  thousand  squares,  streets,  lanes,  and  courts,  and  about  a 
quarter  of  a  million  of  houses.  The  river  Thames  is  crossed  by  several 
handsome  bridges.  These  are  seven  in  number,  connecting  the  Middlesex 
portion  of  the  metropolis  with  that  on  the  Surrey  side;  Of  these,  three 
are  toll  free,  and  four  are  subject  to  a  small  impost.  The  free  bridges 
are  Southwark,  Waterloo,  and  Westminster;  the  others  are  Southwark, 
Waterloo,  Hungerford,  and  Vauxhall. 

London  still  retains  the  character,  not  of  one  compact  city,  but  of 
a  conglomeration  of  different  towns,  connected  by  long  streets.  It  has 
in  various  parts  of  it  all  the  features  of  a  large  town.  Thus,  in  one  dis- 
trict of  it  one  finds  a  busy,  bustling  street,  every  house  of  which  has  its 
lower  floor  opened  as  a  shop.  Behind  this  street  one  finds  handsome 
streets  and  squares,  where  there  are  few  or  no  shops,  the  houses  being 
occupied  by  persons  of  property.  At  a  little  distance  one  finds  narrow 
streets,  with  mean  houses  occupied  by  the  poor.  One  passes  away  to 
another  district,  several  miles  off,  and  one  finds  the  sam«  features  of  a 


m-       —  2  AS  — 

large  town  repeated,  the  great  shop  streets,  the  streets  and  squares  for 
the  aristocracy,  and  the  narrow  streets  and  lanes  for  the  poor.  One 
moves  oif  several  miles  in  other  directions,  and  the  same  features  are 
repeated  again  and  again. 

The  streets  are  crowded,  not  only  with  people,  but  with  carriages, 
omnibuses,  and  vehicles  of  every  description;  and  one  would  at  first 
imagine  that  some  great  occasion  had  drawn  everybody  out  of  their  houses; 
but  day  after  day  one  would  observe  the  same  busy  multitude  passing 
and  repassing  like  so  many  bees. 

It  is  also  greatly  diversified  in  the  occupations  and  manners  of  the 
inhabitants.  To  the  east  upon  the  river,  is  a  great  seaport,  with  all  the 
sounds,  sights,  and  smells  connected  with  the  arriving,  sailing,  loading, 
and  unloading  of  vessels.  Another  quarter  of  it  is  a  manufacturing  town, 
the  streets  generally  silent,  the  people  being  in  their  houses  at  work, 
with  the  sound  of  the  shuttle  heard  from  house  to  house,  and  the  master 
manufacturers  residing  in  well  built  handsome  streets  and  squares  in  the 
vicinity.  Another  district  is  manisfestly  the  seat  of  the  Court,  everything 
wearing  the  air  of  splendour  and  fashion,  the  manners  of  the  shopkeepers 
as  difierent  from  those  of  their  brethren  in  other  quarters  as  if  they  were 
not  natives  of  the  same  country. 

In  ancient  times,  London  was  not  nearly  so  large  as  it  now  is.  The 
houses  were,  in  general,  badly  built,  and  constructed  of  wood  and  plaster; 
and  the  streets  were  mean  and  narrow.  There  were  not  wanting,  however, 
several  very  handsome  buildings,  both  public  and  private;  among  the 
former,  the  old  cathedral  of  St.  Paul  held  Ihe  preeminence;  its  steeple 
is  said  to  have  been  five  hundred  and  twenty  feet  high.  But  in  the  reign 
of  Charles  II.,  a  dreadful  plague,  which  swept  away  one  hundred  thou- 
sand persons,  was  followed  by  a  fire  which  destroyed  almost  all  the  city, 
consuming  four  hundred  streets,  thirteen  thousand  houses,  eighty-nine 
churches,  including  St.  Paul's  Cathedral,  the  Guildhall,  the  Royal  Ex- 
change, and  many  other  buildings.  In  rebuilding,  the  city  was  much  im- 
proved; the  streets  were  widened,  and  the  houses  constructed  with  brick 
instead  of  wood  and  plaster. 

London  has  many  fine  buildings,  but  most  of  them  are  unfavourably 
situated  for  being  seen  to  advantage.  The  general  character  of  London  is 
not  splendour,  but  comfort,  cleanliness,  and  convenience.  A  person  arriv- 
ing there  will  soon  see  that  its  inhabitants  are  not  bent  on  show  or 


—  2/l9  — 

pleasure,  but  on  business,  and  every  facility  is  provided  for  aiding  them. 
The  abundance  of  water  conveyed  into  every  house,  the  thorough  and 
perfect  illumination  with  gas,  the  excellent  repair  in  which  the  streets 
and  roads  are  kept,  the  facility  with  which  persons  of  all  ranks  can  be 
conveyed  from  one  part  of  the  town  to  another,  or  to  any  part  of  the 
world,  form  the  most  remarkable  features  of  this  extraordinary  city. 

One  of  the  finest  buildings  is  St.  Paul's  Cathedral,  which  was  rebuilt 
by  Sir  Christopher  Wren  after  the  great  lire;  the  first  stone  was  laid  on 
the  21st  of  June,  1575,  by  the  architect  himself,  who  lived  to  see  it 
completed,  although  it  took  thirty-five  years  in  building;  the  top  stone 
being  laid  by  the  architect's  son,  in  1710.  It  is  a  magnificent  structure, 
and,  with  the  exception  of  St.  Peter's  at  Rome,  the  grandest  cathedral 
in  the  world.  Within  it,  are  several  fine  statues  in  commemoration  of 
generals,  statesmen,  and  other  celebrated  persons  who  are  buried  there. 
Inside  the  dome  is  a  curious  gallery,  called  the  whispering  gallery.  If  a 
person  at  one  end  of  this  gallery  puts  his  mouth  against  the  wall  and 
whispers  ever  so  faintly,  any  one  at  the  other  end  will  hear  him  di- 
stinctly. The  highest  part  of  the  building  is  about  three  hundred  and 
seventy  feet  from  the  ground;  and  a  fine  view  of  London  may  be  obtained 
from  it;  but  the  people,  houses,  carriages,  and  other  objects,  being  seen 
from  such  a  height,  look  exceedingly  small,  and  have  a  curious  effect. 

Another  building  is  Westminster  Abbey,-  a  very  ancient  building. 
On  its  side  originally  stood  a  Christian  church,  built  by  Sebert,  king  of 
Essex,  in  610,  A.  D.,  but  afterwards  destroyed  by  the  Danes.'  The  Ab- 
bey, as'  such,  was  founded  by  Edward  the  Confessor,  who,  in  1041, 
restored  the  Saxon  line  of  the  kings  of  England ;  it  was  afterwards  re- 
built by  Henry  III.  and  enlarged  by  his  successors.  It  was  also  repaired, 
and  two  of  its  towers  were  built  by  Sir  Christopher  Wren.  One  part  of 
the  abbey  is  called  the  Poets'  Corner;  and  there  are  buried  some  of  the 
most  celebrated  poets  that  England  has  reproduced.  There  one  may  find 
the  names  of  Chaucer,  Spenser,  Shakspeare,  Milton,  and  many  others; 
and  there  are  many  beautiful  monuments  in  marble  erected  to  their 
memory. 

The  chief  curiosities  of  Westminster  Abbey  are  the  chapels  at  the 
eastern  end  of  the  church,  with  their  tombs.  One  of  these,  which  stands 
behind  the  altar,  is  dedicated  to  Edward  the  Confessor.  Here  is  to  be 
seen  his  tomb,  which  was  built  by  Henry  III.,  and  which  contains  the 

32 


-^  250  — 

ashes  of  the  Confessor.  In  this  chapel;  also,  are  the  tombs  of  several 
kings  and  queens  of  England.  The  helmet  of  Henry  V.  is  preserved,  with 
the  saddle  on  which  he  rode  at  the  battle  of  Agincourt;  stripped  of  every- 
thing, however,  bat  the  wood  and  iron.  At  the  eastern  extremity  of  the 
church,  and  opening  up  to  it,  is  the  famous  chapel  of  Henry  VII.,  one  of 
the  finest  specimens  of  Gothic  architecture  in  the  world.  It  was  built  at 
an  enormous  expense,  and  Henry's  tomb  alone  costs  ten  thousand  pounds, 
a  sum  equal  to  two  hundred  thousand  pounds  of  the  English  money.  The 
mosaic  pavement  of  the  choir  is  an  object  of  great  beauty.  It  was  made 
by  Archbishop  Ware,  and  is  formed  of  a  great  many  pieces  of  jasper, 
alabaster,  porphyry,  lapis  lazuli,  serpentine  marble,  and  touchstone, 
varying  in  size  from  half  an  inch  to  four  inches. 

Most  of  the  English  kings  lie  buried  here,  even  down  to  the  time  of 
George  III.  At  his  decease,  in  1820,  St.  George's  Chapel,  Windsor,  was 
used  for  the,  last  resting  place  of  royalty. 

In  going  to  Westminster  Abbey  one  passes  through  the  old  gateway 
called  Temple  Bar,  where  the  heads  of  state  malefactors  used  to  be  ex- 
posed The  gate  at  Temple  Bar  is  always  closed  when  it  is  known  that 
the  reigning  sovereign  designs  to  visit  the  city :  the  ceremony  on  this 
occasion  is  very  imposing  on  account  of  the  grandeur  of  the  procession, 
and  the  crowds  of  people  which  assemble  to  behold  the  spectacle.  Before 
the  present  gate  was  built,  there  was  a  bar  or  barrier  of  posts  and  chains, 
which  separated  the  Strand  from  Fleet  Street,  and  which,  from  its  vici- 
nity to  the  Temple,  received  the  name  of  Temple  Bar. 

There  is  another  very  interesting  building  near  Westminster  Abbey, 
called  Westminster  Hall.  It  was  built  by  William  II.  in  1097,  and  is 
part  of  a  palace  which  he  erected  on  the  side  of  one  occupied  by  Edward 
the  Confessor.  The  ceiling  is  said  to  be  the  largest  in  Europe  unsupport- 
ed by  pillars.  The  Parliament  used  formerly  to  meet  in  this  hall,  and 
it  is  now  used  for  state  trials,  and  on  some  other  occasions.  Close  to 
this  structure,  and  communicating  with  it  by  a  passage,  were  the  build- 
ings in  which  the  parliament  used  to  meet:  these  contained  a  variety  of 
apartments  connected  by  passages.  In  1834,  a  terrible  fire  burnt  down  a 
great  part  of  these  buildings,  and  new  Houses  of  Parliament  have  been 
erected.  The  vault,  called  Guy  Fawkes's  cellar,  situated  under  the  House 
of  Lords,  was  the  old  kitchen  of  Edward  the  Confessor's  palace.  Within 
it  the  gunpowder  and  other  combustibles,  intended  to  blow  up  the  king 


—  251  — 

and  parliament,  were  deposited  by  the  conspirators,  in  the  reign  of 
James  I.  in  1605;  and  at  the  entrance  of  the  vault  Guy  Fawkes  was 
seized  the  night  before  the  intended  execution  of  his  plot. 

The  new  Houses  of  Parliament  are  much  handsomer  and  more  com- 
modious than  the  old.  This  very  handsome  pile  of  buildings  was  erected 
under  the  superintendence  of  Sir  C.  Barry;  the  first  stone  was  laid  on 
the  27.  of  April  18'iO.  The  style  is  of  richly  decorated  gothic,  and  will 
be  memorable  for  ages,  as  the  largest  building  of  this  kind  in  the  world. 
It  covers  an  area  of  eight  acres,  and  has  four  fronts  and  three  principal 
towers.  The  north  part  of  the  building  is  devoted  to  the  House  of  Com- 
mons and  the  various  Committee  rooms  and  other  offices.  The  House  of 
Lords  is  decorated  in  a  most  gorgeous  style  with  richly  gilt  mouldings, 
emblazonings  of  arms,  stained  glass,  and  fine  pictures  of  historical  sub- 
jects. There  is  also  a  stranger's  gallery,  to  which  persons  having  orders 
signed  by  members  are  admitted. 

In  this  neighbourhood  the  Queen  has  an  extensive  old  palace  called 
St.  James's,  and  another  much  more  splendid,  and  far  more  costly,  call- 
ed Buckingham  Palace.  This  palace,  with  its  triumphal  arch,  magnificent 
gates  of  mosaic  gold,  quadrangles,  columns,  capitals,  pediments,  enta- 
blatures, and  internal  magnificence,  is  a  wondrous  pile.  King  George 
said  it  was  not  «a  King's  Palace,  but  a  Palace  for  Kings». 

The  Bank  of  England,  in  Threadneedle  Street,  is  the  first  place  in 
the  whole  world  with  respect  to  money  matters.  What  heaps  of  gold ! 
what  piles  of  bank  notes  does  one  see  there!  It  is  said  to  contain  gene- 
rally eighteen  millions  of  gold  sovereigns. 

It  is  very  large,  and  of  different  kinds  of  architecture,  and  looks  as 
though  it  would  be  no  easy  matter  .to  get  out  any  of  the  gold  it  contains 
against  the  will  of  the  owners.  The  present  building  was  opened  for 
business  in  May  1817.  Its  length  is  four  hundred  and  ninety  feet,  and 
breadth  one  hundred  and  eight  feet. 

Over  the  hall  is  a  very  curious  clock;  it  has  in  the  different  rooms 
of  the  Bank  sixteen  clock  faces,  and  the  hands  are  all  moved  by  brass 
rods  fixed  to  this  one  clock. 

The  tower,  a  renowned  fortress,  is  situated  on  the  N.  bank  of  the 
Thames,  at  the  E.  extremity  of  the  city.  The  White  tower  appears  to 
have  been  built  by  William  the  Conqueror,  and  it  then  formed  the  prin- 
cipal nucleus,  as  it  still  presents  the  most  prominent  feature,  of  the  pre- 


—  252  — 

sent  imposing  aggregate  of  towers  and  fortifications.  It  was  used  in 
former  times  for  a  state-prison;  is  was  here  that  the  unfortunate  Lady 
Jane  Grey  was  confined  and  executed.  The  tower  as  it  now  exists,  is  a 
great  irregular  pile  of  buildings,  surrounded  by  a  ditch,  now  dry,  and 
separated  fram  the  Thames  by  a  platform.  The  exterior  circuit  of  the 
ditch  is  .^156  feet.  The  tower  is  capable  of  accommodating  upwards  of 
900 -soldiers;  but  the  force  usually  occupying  it  does  not  exceed  500  or 
600.  The  new  jewel-office,  erected  in  1840,  is  of  the  Elizabethan  style 
of  architecture,  and  of  a  very  massive  construction,  the  walls  being  up- 
wards of  3  feet  in  thickness,  and  the  whole  bomb  proof  in  every  part. 
The  regalia  are  placed  in  the  centre  of  the  apartment  in  a  case  of  plate 
glass  mounted  in  polished  brass,  and  surrounded  by  an  octagonal  enclo- 
sure of  iron-railing.  The  room  is  lit  by  windows  so  constructed  as  to 
direct  a  full  blaze  of  light  upon  the  jewels  which  are  raised  upon  pede- 
stals covered  with  rich  velvet. 


Y.  The  Streets  of  London. 

The  appearance  presented  by  the  streets  of  London  an  hour  before 
sun  rise,  on  a  summer's  morning,  is  most  striking.  There  is  an  air  of 
cold,  solitary  desolation  about  the  noiseless  streets,  which  we  are  ac- 
customed to  see  thronged  at  other  times  by  a  busy,  eager  crowd,  and 
over  the  quiet  closely  shut  buildings,  which  throughout  the  day  are 
swarming  with  life  and  bustle,  that  is  very  impressive.  The  last  house- 
less vagrant,  whom  penury  and  police  have  left  in  the  streets,  has  coil- 
ed up  his  chilly  limbs  in  some  paved  corner,  to  dream  of  food  and 
warmth.  The  drunkard,  the  dissipated  and  the  wretched  have  dissappear- 
ed:  the  more  sober  and  orderly  part  of  the  population  have  not  yet 
awakened  to  the  labour  of  the  day,  and  the  stillness  of  death  is  over  the 
streets.  The  coachstands  in  the  larger  thoroughfares  are  deserted:  the 
night-houses  are  closed;  and  the  chosen  promenades  of  misery  are  empty. 

An  occasional  policeman  may  alone  be  seen  at  the  street-corners;  and 
now  and  then  a  cat  runs  across  the  road.  A  partially  opened  bedroom 
window  here  and  there  bespeaks  the  heat  of  the  weather  and  the  uneasy 
slumbers  of  its  occupant;  and  the  dim  scanty  light,  through  the  window 


—  253  — 

bliod  denotes  the  chamber  of  watching  or  sickness.  With  these  excepti- 
ons the  streets  present  no  signs  of  life,  nor  the  houses  of  habitation. 

An  hour  wears  away;  the  spires  of  the  churches  and  roofs  of  the 
principal  buildings  are  faintly  tinged  with  the  light  of  the  rising  sun, 
and  the  streets  begin  to  resume  their  bustle  and  animation.  Market-carts 
roll  slowly  along;  the  sleepy  waggoner  impatiently  urging  on  bis  tired 
horses,  or  vainly  endeavouring  to  awaken  the  boy  who,  stretched  on  the 
top  of  the  fruit- baskets,  forgets  his  long  cherished  curiosity  to  behold 
the  wonders  of  London. 

Sleepy-looking  men  begin  to  take  down  the  shutters  of  early  public 
houses;  and  little  deal  tables,  with  their  ordinary  preparation  for  a  street- 
breakfast,  make  their  appearance  at  the  customary  stations.  Numbers 
of  men  and  women,  carrying  upon  their  heads  heavy  baskets  of  fruit, 
toil  down  their  way  to  Covent  garden,  and  following  each  other  in  rapid 
succession,  form  a  long  straggling  line. 

Here  and  there  a  bricklayer's  labourer,  with  the  day's  dinner  tied 
up  in  a  handkerchief,  walks  briskly  to  his  work,  and  occasionally  a  little 
knot  of  three  or  four  schoolboys  on  a  stolen  bathing  expedition,  rattle 
merrily  over  the  pavement,  their  mirth  constrasting  forcibly  with  the 
demeanour  of  the  little  sweep  who,  having  knocked  and  rung  till  his  arm 
aches,  and  being  interdicted  by  a  merciful  legislature  from  endangering 
his  lungs  by  calling  out,  sits  patiently  down  on  the  door-step  until  the 
house-maid  may  happen  to  awake. 

Covent  garden-market,  and  the  avenues  leading  to  it,  are  thronged 
with  carts  of  all  sorts,  sizes,  and  descriptions.  The  pavement  is  already 
strewed  with  decayed  cabbage-leave's,  broken  haybands,  and  all  the  in- 
describable litter  of  a  vegetable  market,  men  are  shouting,  horses  neigh- 
ing, boys  fighting,  basket-women  talking.  These  and  a  hundred  other 
sounds  form  a  compound  discordant  enough  to  a  Londoner's  ears,  and 
remarkably  disagreeable  to  those  of  country  gentlemen,  who  are  sleeping 
for  the  first  time  at  an  inn  near  it. 

Another  hour  passes  away,  and  the  day  begins  in  good  earnest.  The 
servant  of  all  work  lights  the  fire  and  opens  the  street-door  to  take  in 
the  milk.  The  mail  goes  to  the  coach  office  in  due  course,  and  the  pass- 
engers, who  are  going  out  by  the  early  coach,  stare  with  astonishment 
at  the  passengers,  who  are  coming  in  by  the  early  coach,  who  look  blue 
and  dismal,  and  are  evidently  under  the  influence  of  that  odd  feeling 


—  254  — 

produced  by  travelling.  The  coach -office  is  all  alive,  and  the  coaches, 
which  are  just  going  out,  are  surrounded  by  the  usual  crowd  of  Jews, 
who  seem  to  consider,  that  it  is  quite  impossible  any  man  can  mount 
a  coach  without  requiring  at  least  six  penny  worth  of  oranges,  a  pen- 
knife, a  pocket  book,  a  last  year's  almanack,  a  pencil  case,  a  piece  of 
sponge  and  a  small  series  of  caricatures. 

Half  an  hour  more,  and  the  sun  darts  his  bright  rays  cheerfully  down 
the  still  half  empty  streets,  and  shines  with  sufficient  force  to  rouse  the 
dismal  laziness  of  the  apprentice,  who  pauses  every  other  minute  from 
his  task  of  sweeping  out  the  shop  and  watering  the  pavement  in  front 
of  it,  to  tell  another  apprentice  how  hot  it  will  be  to-day ;  he  is  gazing 
at  the  «Wonder»  or  the  « Tally  ho »  or  the  «Nimrod»  or  some  other 
fast  coach,  till  it  is  out  of  sight,  when  he  reenters  the  shop.  Cabs  with 
trunks  and  band-boxes  between  the  driver's  legs  and  outside  the  apron, 
rattle  briskly  up  and  down  the  streets  on  their  way  to  the  coach- offices 
or  steam-packet  wharfs;  and  the  cab-drivers  and  hackney-coachmen  polish 
up  the  ornamental  part  of  their  vehicles.  The  shops  are  now  completely 
opened,  and  apprentices  and  shopmen  are  busily  engaged  in  cleaning  and 
decking  the  windows  for  the  day.  The  bakers'  shops  in  town  are  filled 
with  servants  and  children  waiting  for  the  drawing  of  the  first  batch  of 
rolls. 

Seven  o'  clock,  and  a  new  set  of  people  fill  the  streets.  The  goods 
in  the  shop- window  are  invitingly  arranged;  the  carts  have  dissappeared 
from  Coventgarden;  the  waggoners  have  returned,  and  the  costermongers 
repaired  to  their  ordinary  « beats »  in  the  suburbs,  clerks  are  at  their 
offices,  and  gigs,  cabs,  omnibusses,  and  saddle  horses  are  conveying  their 
masters  to  the  same  destination.  The  streets  are  thronged  with  a  vast 
concourse  of  people  gay  and  shabby,  rich  and  poor,  idle  and  industrious, 
and  we  come  to  the  heat,  bustle  and  activity  of  noon. 


VI.  Tlie  river  Thames. 

The  Thames  traverses  some  of  the  richest  districts  of  England;  but 
it  is  one  of  those  rivers  which  rather  derive  their  peculiar  character  from 
the  counlries  through  which  they  flow,  than  impose  distinctive  features 


—  255  ~ 

on  the  landscape  by  the  boldness  and  rapidity  of  their  course.  Even  in 
the  most  hilly  districts,  where  its  current  is  naturally  strongest,  the  Tha- 
mes can  at  no  point  be  properly  called  a  rapid  stream ;  but  it  is  by  no 
means  a  sluggish  river,  and  is  throughout  distinguishable  for  the  majestic 
progress  of  its  pure  and  silvery  stream  which  generally  fills  its  verdant 
banks,  and  is  rarely  discoloured  with  mud  except  after  great  floods.  To 
these,  independently  of  its  tidal  floods,  it  is  also  occasionably  liable;  and 
their  influence  has  been  very  extensive,  as  well  as  of  long  continuance 
in  the  level  parts  of  its  tract,  making  the  whole  country  appear  like  a 
sea,  and  many  of  the  towns  and  villages  on  its  banks  like  islands,  when 
viewed  from  the  several  eminences  commanding  the  plain. 

Its  course  is  most  distinguished  by  romantic  scenery  and  natural  be- 
auty leading  through  valleys  bounded  by  hills  richly  clothed  with  beech 
woods,  and  finely  embellished  by  the  magnificent  seats  of  many  of  the 
highest  nobility  and  gentry. 

For  many  miles  above  the  metropolitan  vicinity,  the  river  is  enli- 
vened with  a  multitude  of  small  commercial  craft,  and  latterly  with  river 
steamers  running  to  and  from  the  metropolis;  but  here  it  becomes  a  great 
and  noble  tide  river,  full  of  vessels  of  all  description.  The  tides  aflect  it 
for  1 5  or  1 6  miles  above  the  city ;  but  the  salt  water  comes  no  farther 
than  30  m.  below  it.  Such,  however,  is  the  volume  and  depth  of  water, 
that  vessels  of  700  or  800  tons  reach  the  city  on  its  E.  quarter. 

There  is  nothing  finer  in  London,  than  the  view  from  Waterloo -bridge 
on  a  July  evening,  whether  coloured  by  the  gorgeous  hues  of  the  setting 
sun,  reflected  on  the  water  in  tenfold  glory,  or  illuminated  by  a  thousand 
twinkling  lights,  from  lamps,  and  boats,  and  houses,  mingling  with  the 
mild  beams  of  the  rising  moon.  The  calm  and  glassy  river,  gay  with 
unnumbered  vessels;  the  magnificent  buildings  which  line  its  shores, 
produce  a  picture  gratifying  alike  to  the  eye  and  to  the  heart,  The  whole 
voyage  down  the  river  presents  a  series  of  villages,  magnificent  seats, 
splendid  villas,  beautiful  pleasure  grounds,  and  highly  cultivated  gardens. 

It  is  worthy  of  remark,  that  notwithstanding  the  very  existence  of 
London  depends  on  the  navigation  of  the  Thames,  insomuch  that  if  this 
river  were  rendered  unnavigable,  London  would  soon  become  a  heap  of 
ruins,  like  Nineveh  and  Babylon,  yet  some  of  the  passages  of  this  im- 
portant River  are  suff'ered  to  become  half  choked  up  and  almost  impass- 
able from  the  increase  and  shifting  of  sandbanks. 


—  256  — 

There  has  heen  formed  in  1824  a  ground  thoroughfare  for  carriages 
and  passengers  across  the  Thames,  at  a  point,  below  all  the  bridges, 
where,  from  the  constant  passage  of  shipping  of  all  descriptions,  the 
erection  of  a  bridge  would  have  been  highly  inconvenient,  if  not  practi-- 
cally  impossible-  Entering  the  ground  by  an  easy  spiral  staircase  for 
passengers,  and  an  entrance  leading  to  a  spiral  roadway  for  carriges,  the 
tunnel  crosses  about  75  feet  below  the  surface  of  the  river  at  high  water, 
by  two  distinct  avenues  or  arched  vaults  connected  with  each  other  by 
openings,  and  comprising  each  a  carriage-Avay  and  footpath.  The 
ground  is  arched,  so  that  the  tunnel,  as  a  whole,  may  be  said  to  consist 
of  two  cylinders,  with  a  central  portion  common  to  both.  It  issues,  on 
the  S.  side  of  the  river,  also  by  an  inclined  spiral  plane  and  staircase 
similar  to  those  on  the  N.  side.  The  engineer  who  had  the  high  merit 
of  accomplishing  this  great  work  is  Sir  J.  Brunei. 


VII.  Life  and  Manners  of  tbe  Inhabitants  of  Scotland. 

The  Scots  are  commonly  divided  into  two  classes :  the  Highlanders 
and  Lowlanders,  — the  former  occupying  the  northern  and  mountainous 
provinces,  and  the  latter  the  southern  districts.  These  classes  differ  from 
each  other  in  language,  manners,  and  dress.  In  their  persons,  the  Scots 
have  an  athletic  bony  frame,  a  hard  weatherbeaten  countenance,  in- 
dicating cool  prudence  and  cautions  circumspection,  and  broad  and 
high  cheek-bones.  Nor  are  the  sources  of  this  peculiarity  of  character 
and  conformation  difficult  to  be  discovered.  Exposure  to  a  climate  rather 
severe,  with  modes  of  living  that  may  be  styled  spare  rather  than  mo- 
derate, give  health  and  vigour  to  the  body;  while  an  early  moral  and 
religious  education  imparts  to  the  mental  powers  shrewdness,  solidity, 
and  strength.  In  the  case  of  the  Highland  and  pastoral  Scot,  daily  and 
severe  toil,  the  perpetual  presence  of  scenery  calculated  to  make  a 
deep  and  permanent  impression  on  the  feelings,  —  the  broad  expanse 
of  ocean,  indented  by  rocky  promontories,  or  studded  with  islands,  the 
gloomy  glen  for  ever  re-echoing  the  roar  of  innumerable  streams  pour- 
ed from  the  craggy  mountains,  whose  towering  heads  hide  themselves 
for  a  great  part  of  the  year  amid  the  clouds,  the  rapid  descent  of  thick 


—  257  — 

vapours,  and  the  darkness  of  conflicting  tempests,  —  give  existence 'to 
that  daring  and  sublime,  though  sombre  and  romantic  cast  of  thought 
which  so  remarkably  distinguishes  Scotsmen  in  every  quarter  of  the 
world. 

The  Scots  have  been  celebrated  for  their  taste  in  music;  and  in  song, 
particularly  of  the  pastoral  and  plaintive  kind,  they  are  unrivalled.  The 
origin  of  their  national  airs  is  still  involved  in  much  obscurity. 

Attachment  to  his  native  soil  has  been  considered,  and  perhaps  not 
without  reason,  as  peculiarly  characteristic  of  a  Scotsman;  although,  con- 
sidering the  extent  of  her  population,  perhaps  no  country  sends  forth  a 
greater  number  of  emigrants  than  Scotland.  Many  of  these,  however,  it 
may  be  observed,  emigrate  purely  from  the  strength  of  this  principle:  a 
few  years  of  separation  are  endured  to  purchase  the  delight  of  closing 
life  happily  and  independently  amid  the  scenes  of  infancy  and  youth. 
Even  the  poor  emigrants  who  have  been  forced  to  exile  themselves  from 
their  native  Scotland,  still  carry  with  them  their  national  feelings  and 
customs,  and  preserve  the  remembrance  of  their  native  woods  and  streams 
and  mountains  in  the  names  which  they  bestow  upon  the  scenery  of  their 
new  abodes  beyond  the  wide  rolling  Atlantic. 

The  chief  distinction  of  the  Scotsf  rom  the  people  of  England  origin- 
ates in  the  difference  of  religion;  that  of  Scotland  being Presbyterianism, 
that  of  England  Episcopacy.  This  occasions  a  difference  in  the  mode  of 
conducting  baptisms,  marriages,  and  funerals. 

The  Highlanders  have  a  language,  a  dress,  and  many  customs  pecu- 
liar to  themselves.  The  Highland  dress  consists  of  a  short  coat,  a  vest, 
a  short  kind  of  petticoat  reaching  scarcely  so  low  as  the  knee,  and 
known  by  the  name  of  a  philabeg  or  kilt,  with  short  hose,  leaving  the 
knees  entirely  uncovered.  The  head  is  covered  with  a  bonnet  totally  dif- 
ferent in  its  appearance  from  the  broad  flat  lowland  bonnet;  it  is  stiffened 
so  as  to  stand  upright  on  the  head,  and  has  no  slight  resemblance  to  a 
^  hat  without  a  brim.  The  coat,  the  vest,  the  kilt,  and  the  hose,  are  usu- 
ally of  tartan,  —  a  kind  of  chequered  stuff  of  various  colours,  often  not 
inelegant.  Instead  of  the  kilt,  is  sometimes  substituted  the  belted  plaid, 
which  is  a  large  piece  of  tartan,  part  of  it  fastened  round  the  body  in 
the  form  of  a  philabeg,  a  part  tucked  up  to  one  of  the  shoulders,  having 
on  the  whole,  a  graceful  appearance,  and  exhibiting  a  strong  resemblance 
to  the  dress  of  the  ancient  Romans.  The  Sprochan  or  pouch,  formed  ge- 

33 


-  258  - 

nerally  of  some  kind  of  fur,  decorated  with  tassels  and  various  other  or- 
naments, and  fastened  round  the  middle  of  the  body,  so  as  to  hang  down 
before,  is  esteemed  an  essential  part  of  the  Highland  garb. 

To  this,  before  the  Highlanders  were  disarmed,  were  added  a  broad 
sword,  with  a  large  basket  handle,  a  dirk,  or  short  dagger,  a  knife  and 
fork  in  the  same  sheath  with  the  dirk,  and  in  the  girdle  a  pistol,  often 
much  ornamented.  The  music  of  the  Highlanders  is  in  a  great  measure 
peculiar;  their  favourite  instrument,  the  bagpipe,  though  enthusiastically 
admired  by  the  Highlanders,  is  not,  unless  in  very  skilful  hands,  agree- 
able to  the  natives  of  other  countries.  Dancing  is  a  favourite  Highland 
amusement;  but  it  is  generally  performed  with  more  agility  than  grace. 
The  houses  or  huts  of  the  Highlanders  are  mean  structures  of  loose  sto- 
nes, generally  without  either  chimney  or  grate.  The  fire  is  made  upon 
the  hearth,  in  the  middle  of  the  house,  the  smoke  finding  its  way  out  by 
an  aperture  in  the  roof.  The  ordinary  food  of  the  Highland  peasantry  is 
coarse  and  spare,  consisting  chiefly  of  oatmeal  variously  prepared,  and 
milk,  in  the  neighbourhood  of  the  sea,  of  fish.  It  may  be  here  remarked 
that  the  Scottish  Highlanders  are  daily  losing  that  exclusive  attachment 
to  their  ancient  dress  and  manners  by  which  they  were  formerly  distin- 
guished. They  are  rapidly  adopting  the  dress  and  the  customs  of  the  low 
country;  and  in  a  short  time,  it  is  probable  the  customs  of  the  Highlands 
will  be  described  rather  as  manners  which  existed,  than  as  manners  still 
existing  in  any  part  of  the  island. 


VIII.  Colonics  and  Dependencies  of  Great  Britain. 

Britain  possesses  upwards  of  thirty  dependencies  in  different  parts 
of  the  world,  which  it  acquired  by  virtue  of  discovery  or  conquest.  The 
dependencies  are  of  two  kinds  -—  military  establishments,  useful  for  the 
concentration  of  naval  forces,  such  as  Gibraltar,  Helgoland,  Bermuda,  and 
St.  Helena;  and  colonial  possessions,  valuable  for  trade  and  the  reception 
of  emigrant  settlers,  but  still  more  important  as  the  means  of  extending 
the  English  language,  arts,  and  civilised  usages.  The  chief  colonies  are 
geographically  connected  with  America  and  (he  West  Indies,  and  with 
Australasia.

The  Spaniards  and  Portuguese  were  (he  first  European  nations  that 
colonised  the  New  World,  and,  when  the  native  Indians  perished  before 
them,  imported  negroes  from  Africa  to  perform  the  agricultural  labour 
as  slaves.  The  English  were  not  slow  to  follow  in  their  steps.  Sir  Walter 
Raleigh  formed  a  settlement  in  North  America  about  the  year  1607,  and 
called  it  Virginia,  in  honour  of  Queen  Elizabeth.  Two  companies  of  mer- 
chants enlarged  the  British  territory,  part  of  which  received  the  name  of 
New  England;  and,  subsequently,  numerous  bands  of  religious  and  political 
refugees  sought  a  home  on  its  shores;  but,  when  these  colonies  rose 
in  wealth  and  strength,  they  found  themselves  in  a  position  to  main- 
tain their  independence  of  the  mother-country,  and  before  the  close  of 
the  last  century,  achieved  that  independence ;  so  that  they  are  now 
no  longer  known  as  colonies,  but  as  the  independent  republic  of  the 
United  States  of  America. 

The  settlements  in  the  West  Indian  Islands  began  to  flourish  in  the 
half  of  the  seventeenth  century ,  when  factories  were  established  by 
private  companies  in  Barbadoes  and  St.  Christopher's,  and  the  culture 
of  the  sugar-cane,  transplanted  from  Brazil,  was  found  to  succeed.  Dur- 
ing the  Protectorate  of  Cromwell,  Jamaica  was  conquered  from  Spain, 
and  opened  a  new  source  of  wealth.  Trinidad,  the  smaller  islands,  the 
district  of  Honduras  or  Belize,  on  the  adjacent  coast  of  North  America, 
and  Guiana ,  in  South  America  ,  have  been  acquired  at  various  periods 
since,  and  chiefly  by  conquest  from  Spain,  Holland,  and  France.  All 
these  territories  are  together  denominated  the  British  West  Indies.  They 
are  the  oldest  British  colonies,  and  are  rich  in  every  tropical  product, 
yielding  sugar,  coffee,  tobacco,  cotton,  cabinet  timber,  spices,  fruits, 
drugs,  and  dye-stuffs.  Jamaica,  the  largest  and  most  important  of  the 
islands,  has  an  area  of  more  than  five  thousand  square  miles,  with 
a  population  of  more  than  four  hundred  thousand,  of  which  only  about 
thirty-eight  thousand  are  whites,  the  majority  being  negroes,  most  of 
whom  were  originally  slave  labourers.  Trinidad,  St.  Lucia,  Dominica, 
Barbadoes,  and  the  other  islands  belonging  to  Britain,  may  contain  an 
aggregate  area  of  eighty-three  thousand  square  miles,  with  a  popula- 
tion of  about  four  hundred  and  sixty  thousand,  of  which  the  greater 
portion  are  negroes  and  Creoles.  Belize  is  comparatively  a  small  terri- 
tory ;  but  Guiana  has  an  area  of  sixty-seven  thousand  square  miles, 
with  a  population  of  more  than  one  hundred  thousand.

Since  the  abolition  of  slavery  by  tbe  British  government,  the  want 
of  labourers  has  been  severely  felt,  the  coloured  population  being  ge- 
nerally disinclined  to  hired  labour,  and  the  work  to  be  done  being  un- 
suitable to  European  constitutions.  These  colonies  are,  therefore,  some- 
what on  the  decline. 

Since  the  independence  of  the  North  American  states  in  1776,  the 
British  possessions  in  that  continent  have  been  wholly  in  the  northern 
section,  embracing  the  province  of  Canada,  the  colonies  of  Nova  Scotia, 
Cape  Breton,  Prince  Edward's  Island,  New  Brunswick,  and. Newfound- 
land; and  the  vast  region  stretching  to  the  Arctic  Ocean,  at  present 
occupied  by  savage  tribes  and  the  trappers  of  the  Hudson's  Bay  Com- 
pany. The  whole  population  amounts  to  about  three  millions. 

The  rise  of  the  British  power  In  India  is  reckoned  one  of  the  most 
surprising  things  in  history.  It  originated  in  a  charter  granted  in  1600 
by  Queen  Elizabeth  to  a  body  of  English  merchants,  since  known  as 
the  East  India  Company.  In  1611,  they  received  permission  from  the 
native  government  at  Delhi  to  establish  factories  at  Surat,  and  other 
spots  in  Eastern  Hindostan-  About  the  middle  of  the  seventeenth  cen- 
tury, a  settlement  was  formed  at  Madras;  and  by  the  marriage  of 
Charles  II.  with  a  princess  of  Portugal,  the  valuable  position  of  Bombay 
was  also  obtained.  At  the  beginning  of  the  eighteenth  century,  the  French 
influence  in  India  was  considerable,  and  their  settlements  superior  to 
the  English;  but  from  about  the  year  1750,  when  the  forces  of  the  two 
nations  came  into  collision,  the  French  gradually  gave  way,  while  the 
British  territories  rapidly  extended;  and  a  succession  of  conquests,  al- 
most forced  upon,  placed  one  district  of  India  after  another  in  the  power 
of  Great  Britain. 

In  1773,  It  was  deemed  proper  to  place  a  check  on  the  rapidly  in- 
creasing power  of  the  Company,  by  the  appointment  of  a  governor- 
general  on  behalf  of  the  Crown.  At  a  later  period,  a  council  and  a 
Board  of  Control  were  added.  In  1780,  Ilyder  Ali,  the  sultan  of  My- 
sore, suddenly  burst  into  the  Carnatic  with  an  overwhelming  force, 
and  ravaged  all  before  him.  The  war,  which  was  continued  with  va- 
rious success  under  his  son,  Tippoo  Saib,  terminated  at  length  in  the 
capture  of  Seringapatam  and  the  death  of  Tippoo,  whose  kingdom  be- 
came the  spoil  of  the  English.  Early  in  the  present  century,  the  jea- 
lousy of  some  of  the  Mahratta  rulers  led  to  another  war  of  conquest, 


—  261  — 

which  gave  the  victor  extensive  territories  in  Central  India,  including 
Delhi,  the  Mogul  capital,  and  Agra,  with  the  custody  of  the  Mogul 
emperor.  A  war  provoked  by  the  Burmese  government  in  1826,  added 
Assam  and  other  provinces  east  of  the  Bay  of  Bengal  to  British  India. 
During  the  war  with  Aifghanistan,  which  lasted  from  1839  till  1842, 
it  was  felt  to  be  very  desirable  for  the  British  to  command  the  na- 
vigation of  the  Indus;  and  Lord  EUenborough  was  induced  to  attempt 
the  acquisition  of  territory  in  Scindia.  Here,  also,  the  natives  were 
forced  to  yield  before  the  superior  prowess  of  Britain.  In  the  adja- 
cent kingdom  of  the  Punjaub,  events  were  still  more  remarkable.  A 
number  of  chiefs  among  the  Sikhs  contending  for  the  vacant  throne, 
provoked  a  collision  with  the  English  forces  in  1845.  The  war  ter- 
minated in  1849,  by  their  unconditional  surrender,  and  the  Punjaub  was 
by  proclamation  annexed  to  Britis-h  India. 

AH  territories  lying  in  or  near  Hindostan,are  known  by  the  common 
appellation  of  East  Indies;  and  from  their  geographical  position,  yield 
every  species  of  tropical  produce,  as  sugar,  coffee,  tea,  rice,  silk, 
cotton,  hardwoods,  ivory,  spices,  fruits,  drugs,  dye-stuffs,  and  other 
similar  commodities.  Goods  to  the  value  of  more  than  eight  millions 
stmiing  are  annually  exported  from  Britain  to  the  East  Indies;  while 
goods  to  the  value  of  more  than  fourteen  millions  are  imported  from 
the  east. Indies  to  Britain. 

In  1857  a  most  formidable  insurrection  broke  out  in  the  Indian 
army.  For  many  years  the  East  India  Company  had  maintained  a  large 
force  of  native  troops  under  British  officers  and  armed  and  disciplined 
in  the  European  manner.  These  Sepoys,  as  they  were  called ,  were  a 
fine  body  of  men,  and  had  done  excellent  service  in  many  wars;  and 
notwithstanding  several  instances  of  insubordination,  very  great  con- 
fidence was  placed  in  them  generally. 

The  cause  of  the  outbreak  is  even  now  scarcely  certain.  Some 
strange,  unfounded  suspicion  of  an  attempt  about  to  be  made  by  the 
British  authorities  for  their  forcible  conversion  to  Christianity  seems 
to  have  found  its  way  to  the  minds  of  the  Sepoys,  both  Mohamedan 
and  Hindoo.  This  alarm  was  founded,  or  pretended  to  be  founded,  on 
the  issue,  of  new  cartridges,  adapted  to  the  improved  fire-arms  now  used 
by  all  the  infantry,  and  which  it  was  supposed  were  greased  with 
the  fat  either  of  the  cow,  which  is  a  sacred  animal  with  the  Brah- 


-  262  — 

mins,  the  highest  caste  of  Hindoos,  or  of  swine,  which  are  an  aho- 
mination  to  the  Mahomedans,  as  to  the  Jews. 

The  first  very  serious  outbreak  of  this  mutiny  took  place  early 
in  May,  at  Meerut,  a  military  station  about  thirty  miles  to  the  north 
of  Delhi.  The  insurgents  murdered  their  officers  and  their  families, 
and  marched  to  Delhi,  where  they  were  joined  by  the  garrison, 
consisting  entirely  of  native  regiments,  and  the  atrocities  committed 
at  Meerut  were  here  repeated.  They  also  took  the  nominal  king  of 
Delhi,  the  lineal  descendant  of  the  Mogul  sovereigns,  a  feeble  old  man, 
who  was  then  living  in  that  magnificent  capital  a  pensioner  of  the 
East  India  company,  and  proclaimed  him  Emperor  of  India. 

By  the  firm  attitude  assumed  by  the  British  in  India,  surprised 
and  outnumbered  as  they  were,  and  placed  in  a  position  of  unexam- 
pled peril,  by  the  prompt  and  powerful  support  sent  out  from  home, 
and  by  the  distinguished  talent  and  valour  of  their  commanders,  and 
of  many  other  most  able  men  in  every  rank  and  of  all  conditions, 
the  most  formidable  military  revolt  that  has  ever  been  known  was 
crushed  into  mere  fragments  in  less  than  a  year.  It  is  likewise  to  be 
observed  that  throughout  the  whole  of  this  critical  period,  neither  the 
mass  of  the  population  of  India  nor  the  princes  of  the  country  have 
shown  any  sympathy  with  the  mutineers.  The  insurrection  was  more- 
over confined  to  the  Bengal  Presidency,  the  Madras  and  Bombay  troops 
having,  with  few  exceptions,  proved  trustworthy. 

A  most  important  change  in  the  government  of  India,  of  which 
the  necessity  had  long  been  foreseen,  has  been  accelerated  by  the 
events  which  have  been  now  related.  The  great  East  India  Company 
w^as  abolished,  and  its  vast  empire  transferred  to  the  direct  dominion 
of  the  Crown,  Sept.  1,   1858. 

In  Australasia,,  the  British  settlements  are  those  of  New  South 
Wales,  of  which  that  of  Sydney,  on  the  south  shore  of  Port  Jackson, 
was  established  in  1788;  Western  Australia  or  Swan  River,  of  which 
the  capital  in  Perth,  in  1829;  South  Australia,  of  which  Adelaide 
is  the  capital;  and  Port  Philip,  or  Victoria,  of  which  Melbourne  is 
the  capital,  established  iu  1837.  North  Australia  was  colonised  in 
1838,  and  Australia,  and  the  western  coast,  about  eighty  miles  south 
of  Swan  River,  was  settled  in  1841.  The  Colonisation  of  this  part 
of  the  world   began  by    the  practice  of  depositing  criminals   on   the 


—  263  - 

coast  of  Australia,  after  the  American  war  of  independence  put  a  stop 
to  their  being  transported  to  the  plantations  of  the  New  World.  One 
spot,  from  the  profusion  of  flowers  found  on  it,  was  called  Botany 
Bay,  long  used  as  a  penal  settlement;  and  thus  the  town  of  Port 
Jackson  or  Sydney  had  its  origin.  But  the  advantages  of  the  place 
tempted  free  emigrants  to  settle  in  it,  and  Van  Clemen's  Land  be- 
came the  penal  settlement  instead  of  New  South  Wales.  Many  of  the 
inhabitants  of  Sydney  removed  to  other  parts  of  the  coast,  and  were 
joined  by  new  emigrants.  Thus  arose  the  settlement  of  Port  Philip, 
at  the  southern  extremity;  of  Swan  River,  far  to  the  west;  and  Ade- 
laide, with  many  smaller  ones  between  them.  Still  more  recently, 
Port  Essington  became  the  nucleus  of  settlements  in  the  north,  but 
they  have  not  succeeded  like  the  rest.  The  staple  productions  have 
hitherto  been^he  wool,  tallow,  and  hides  of  the  numerous  flocks  of 
sheep  fed  on  the  natural  pasture.  But  the  recent  discovery  of  gold 
is  likely  to  change  the  aspect  of  affairs.  The  adjacent  island  of  Van 
Diemen's  Land  (which  contains  24,000  square  miles,  or  some  what 
less  than  Ireland)  is  the  seat  of  another  British  colony,  planted  in 
1824,  and  is  altogether  a  thriving  settlement  being  more  hilly  and 
better  watered  than  Australia.  Its  principal  towns  are  Hobart-Town, 
the  capital,  and  Launceston.  New  Zealand,  composed  of  three  con- 
tiguous islands,  ranging  from  ilOO  miles  in  length,  with  a  breadth 
varying  from  5  to  200,  is  also  the  seat  of  a  British  colony;  and  if 
its  internal  management  would  be  fairly  adjusted,  it  would  probably 
rise  to  firstrate  importance.  Two  centuries  have  passed'  since  these 
islands  were  first  discovered  by  the  Dutch;  but  little  was  known  of 
the  natives  till  the  voyages  of  Captain  Cook.  They  were  fierce,  war- 
like, cannibal  tribes,  whom  Europeans  cared  not  to  meddle  with.  In 
1837,  however,  a  New  Zealand  Company  was  formed,  and  land  bought 
from  the  chiefs.  The  mother-country  has  since  provided  means  of  pro- 
tection and  government  for  the  colonists. 

At  the  Cape  of  Good  Hope,  Sierra  Leone,  Cape  Coast,  and  other 
parts  of  Africa,  Britain  possesses  upwards  of' 200,000  square  miles, 
with  a  population  of  400,000.  Cape  Colony,  taken  from  the  Dutch 
in  1806,  has  been  a  thriving  settlement,  and  the  recent  colony  at 
Port  Natal  gave  high  promise;  but  a  recent  war  with  the  Caffres  has 
been   productive   of  much   injury.    The  Mauritius,   and   some   minor 


islands  in  the  Indian  Ocean;  the  rocky  islets  of  St.  Helena  and  As- 
cension, in  the  Atlantic;  and  Fernando  Po,  in  the  Gulf  of  Guinea, 
complete  the  sum  of  British  possessions  connected  with  Africa.  Their 
principal  products  are  ivory,  gold,  hides,  horns,  sugar,  coffee,  palm- 
oil,  teakwood,  aloes,  and  articles  of  minor  importance. 

The  laws  and  judicial  usages-  of  England  are  extended  to  the 
chief  colonial  possessions,  along  with  all  the  rights  and  privileges 
which  are  common  to  British  subjets-  Hence  the  inhabitants  of  the 
most  distant  part  of  the  empire,  whatever  be  their  origin,  rank,  or 
colour,  are  entitled  by  the  constitution  to  enjoy  the  same  degree  of 
civil  and  religious  liberty,  and  the  same  careful  protection  of  life  and 
property  as  their  fellow-subjects  in  the  mother-country.  This  is  -  an 
invaluable  boon,  for  in  no  nation  do  the  people  practically  enjoy 
greater  rational  liberty  of  speech  ar  action,  and  in  none  is  the  press 
more  free.  In  India,  the  natives  are  subject  to  their  own  laws,  and 
in  this  privilege  they  are  carefully  protected  by  the  British  authori- 
ties. Uninterrupted,  likewise,  in  the  exercise  of  their  own  peculiar 
religious  usages,  sheltered  from  the  oppression  of  native  chiefs,  and 
instructed  at  schools  which  have  been  recently  planted  amongst  them, 
the  inhabitants  of  India  are  really  more  happy  and  prosperous  under 
a  foreign  rule  than  they  were  under  the  dominion  of  the  former  so- 
vereigns of  the  country. 

According  to  the  constitution,  wherever  Britain  established  her 
civil  authority,  there  also  is  established  the  Protestant  Episcopalian 
form  of  church  government  and  worship,  except  in  cases  where  pro- 
vision to  the  contrary  has  been  made  by  terms  of  capitulation.  Prac- 
tically, however,  there  is  perfect  freedom  in  the  exercise  of  religious 
belief  and  worship  in  all  parts  of  the  empire.  In  Lower  Canada  and 
Malta,  Roman  Catholicism;  in  Hindostan,  Brahminism  and  Bluhammed- 
anism;  and  in  Ceylon,  the  religion  of  Buddha,  prevails.  The  Pro- 
testant Presbyterian  form  of  church  government  and  worship,  similar 
to  that  of  Scotland,  predominates  in  the  Cape  of  Good  Hope,  according 
to  agreement  with  the  former  Dutch  occupants.  In  all  the  colonial 
possessions,  much  is  done  by  means  of  missionaries,  to  introduce  a 
knowledge  of  Christianity  among  the  natives. 

The  English  language  now  predominates  over  the  whole  United 
Kingdom,   with  the  exception  of  a  portion  of  the  Highlands  of  Scot- 


^  265  - 

land,  part  of  Ireland,  part  of  the  Isle  of  Man,  and  AVales;  but  in  all 
these  places  it  is  gradually  superseding  the  native  Celtic  dialects.  It 
has  been  extended,  by  means  of  numerous  dependencies  abroad ,  over 
nearly  the  whole  of  North  American  and  the  West  India  Islands;  also 
the  Australian  continent  and  islands,  the  Cape  of  Good  Hope,  part  of 
Hindostan  and  Ceylon  arid  various  other  places,  including  several  is- 
lands in  the  Pacific.  This  diffusion  of  the  English  tongue,  and  with 
it  the  Christian  religion,  as  well  as  English  literature  and  habits  of 
thought,  over  so  large  a  portion  of  the  earth's  surface,  is  perhaps 
the  most  extraordinary  fact,  connected  with  the  -history  of  modern 
civilisatioii. 


XI.  Commerce  and  Manufactures  of  Great-Britain. 

The  eminent  importance  attained  by  the  British  in  the  scale  of 
nations  appears  to  depend  mainly  upon  two  features  of  the  common 
character  —  the  high  moral  and  intellectual  character  of  the  people 
at  large,  and  their  extraordinary  skill  in  producing  articles  of  necesity 
and  luxury,  as  well  as  their  dexterity  in  the  commerce  by  which  these 
are  diffused  over  the  world. 

In  manufactures  and  commerce  Britain  has  long  enjoyed  a  supe- 
iority  over  all  other  countries.  For  this  the  nation  has  been  indebted, 
not  only  to  their  naturally  industrious  dispositions  and  the  enlightened 
men,  who  have  in  the  course  of  time  invented  machinery  for  increas- 
ing and  cheapening  the  products  of  labour,  but  to  the  extraordinary  abun- 
dance of  mineral  substances  requisite  for  manufactures,  and  to  the  in- 
sular nature  of  the  country,  which  admits  of  ready  maritime  commu- 
nication with  other  regions.  In  consequence  of  these  advantages  com- 
bined, Britain  has  for  a  long  time  furnished  articles  of  clothing  and 
household  conveniency  to  many  parts  of  the  world,  receiving  in  ex- 
change either  money  or  acticles  of  value.  The  cotton  manufacture,  not- 
withstanding that  the  raw  material  can  be  obtained  only  in  distant 
parts  of  the  earth,  has  risen  in  Great  Britain,  during  seventy  years 
from  about  200,000  pound  of  annual  import  to  the  enormous  sum 
of  965  millions,  of  which  more  than  one  half  is  exported  again.  Cotton 

34 


-  266  — 

goods  are  manufactured  chiefly  by  means  of  machinery,  in  large  fac- 
tories, the  chief  seats  of  the  manufacture  being  Manchester,  Glasgow, 
Paisley.  Cotton  goods  are  also  manufactured  by  hand-loom  weavers, 
of  whom  a  considerable  number  continue  to  strive  against  the  over- 
powering  competition   of  machinery. 

The  Woolen  Manufacture  is  the  oldest  in  Britain.  The  west  of  Eng- 
land is  the  chief  seat  of  this  manufacture.  The  silk  Manufacture,  in- 
troduced by  French  Emigrants  in  the  sixteenth  century,  is  carried  on 
to  a  great  extent  at  Spitalfields,  Coventry,  Manchester,  Paisley,  and 
Glasgow.  The  Hard-ware  Manufacture  is  one  in  which  the  skill  of  British 
workmen  has  long  given  them  a  high  reputation.  Iron  to  the  amount 
of  nearly  2  millions  of  tons  was,  in  1866  prepared  from  British  mines 
for  the  purpose  of  being  manufactured  into  articles  of  conveniency. 
The  manufacture  of  the  finer  class  of  hardware  is  chiefly  seated  at 
Birmingham  and  Sheffield,  while  canon  and  machinery  are  produced 
on  an  extensive  scale  at  Carron  in  Scotland.  The  manufacture  of  earthen- 
ware, china  and  glass  is  also  carried  on  to  a  great  extent. 

The  commerce  of  Britain  is  conducted  by  vessels  belonging  to  private 
parties  within  the  realm,  or  in  other  countries.  In  1865  the  mercantile 
navy  of  the  home  country  and  its  colonies  consisted  of  nearly  thirty 
thousand  vessels,  of  nearly  five  millions  of  aggregate  tonnage,  and  na- 
vigatred  by  a  three  hundred  and  eighty-five  thousand  men.  We  obtain, 
however,  a  more  distinct  idea  of  the  extent  of  the  national  commerce 
from  a  calculation  of  the  number  of  vessels,  British  and  foreign,  which 
in  1865,  entered  and  departed  from  British  harbours.  These  were  — 
of  British,  twenty-one  thousand  nine  hundred;  of  foreign  twelve  thousand 
eight  hundred;  comprehending  an  aggregate  of  about  ten  millions  of 
tonnage.  The  chief  mercantile  port  of  Britain  is  London,  after  which 
Liverpool,  Dublin,  Hull  and  Greenock,. rank  in  succession.  Duties  ex- 
ceeding twenty  millions  are  annually  paid  to  Government  for  goods  im- 
ported into  London ;  and  harbour  dues  to  the  amount  of  two  hundred 
and  fifty  thousand  pounds  were  collected  in  1860,  for  vessels  in  the 
docks  at  Liverpool,  which  have  a  waterroom  of  a  hundred  and  eleven 
acres  and  a  quay -space  of  eight  miles.     - 

Besides  tea,  wine,  and  sugar  the  imports  of  Britain  consist  chiefly 
of  raw  materials  for  manufactures,  while  the  exports,  are  almost  exclu- 
sive by  manufactured  goods.    The  greatest  quantity  of  imports  is  from 


_  267  — 

America;  the  greatest  quantity  of  exports,  to  tlie  same  part  of  the  world. 
Tea  is  obtained  from  China;  wine  chiefly  from  Portugal  and  Spain,  Sugar, 
is  exclusively  imported  from  the  West  Indies.  Cotton  in  its  raw  state 
is  obtained  chiefly  from  the  United  States  and  in  lesser  quantities  from 
Brazil  and  Egypt.  Of  wool  the  coarser  sort  is  obtained  at  home,  while 
the  finer  kinds  are  imported  from  Germany  and  the  colonies  of  Australia. 
Tallow,  hemp  and  timber,  are  imported  from  Russia. 


Poetry. 


i.  The  Busy  Bee. 


«Little  bee,  come  here  and  say 

What  you're  doing  all  the  day«? 

« Oh,  every  day,  and  all  day  long, 

•Among  the  flowers  you  hear  my 

song. 

I  creep  in  every  bud  I  see, 

And  all  the  honey  is  for  me; 

I  take  it  to  the  hive  with  care, 


And  give  it  to  my  brothers  there: 

That  when  the  winter  time  com- 
es on, 

And  all  the  flowers  are  dead  and 

gone, 

And  when  the  wind  is  cold  and 

rough. 

The  busy  bee  may  have  enough* . 


2.  The  lazy  Fly. 

« Little  fly,  come  here  and  say 

What  you're  doing  all  the  day? 
«0h,  I'm  a  gay  and  merry  fly, 
I  never  do  anything  —  no,  not  I  —     ' 
I  go  where  I  like,  and  I  stay  where  I  please, 
In  the  heat  of  the  sun,  or  the  shade  of  the  trees, 
On  the  window-pane,  or  the  cup-board  shelf; 
And  I  care  for  nothing  except  myself. 


-  268  — 

I  cannot  tell,  it  is  very  true, 
When  the  winter  comes,  what  I  mean  to  do: 
And  I  very  much  fear,  when  I'm  getting  old, 
I  shall  starve  with  hunger,  or  die  of  cold». 


3.  The  Field  Daisy. 


Tm  a  little  pretty  thing, 
Always  coming  with  the  spring; 
In  the  meadows  green  I'm  found, 
Peeping  just  above  the  ground; 
And  my  stalk  is  covered  flat 
With  a  white  and  yellow  hat. 


Little  lady,  when  you  pass 
Lightly  o^er  the  tender  grass. 
Skip  about,  but  do  not  tread 
On  my  meek  and  healthy  head, 
For  I  always  seem  to  say: 
«Surely,  Winter's  gone  away*. 


4.  The  Little  Coward. 


Why,  here's  a  foolish  little  man, 
Laughtathim,  donkey,  if  you  can; 
And  cat,  and  dog,  and  cow,  and 

calf. 
Come  every  one  of  you  and  laugh : 

For  only  think,  he  runs  away, 
If  honest  donkey  does  but  bray ! 
And  when  the  bull  begins  to 

bellow, 
He's  like  a  crazy  little  fellow. 


Poor  Brindle  cow  can  hardly  pass 
Along  the  edge  to  nip  the  grass, 
Or  wag  her  tail  to  lash  the  flies, 
But  off  he  runs  and  out  he  cries. 

And  when  old  Tray  comes 
jumping  too, 

With  bow,  wow,  wow,  for 
how  d'ye  do, 

And  means  it  all  for  civil  play, 

'Tis  sure  to  make  him  run  away. 


5.  The  Evening  Bells. 

Those  evenings-bells,  those  evenings-bells. 
How  many  a  tale  their  music  tells 
Of  youth,  and  home,  and  that  sweet  time, 
When  last  I  heard  their  soothing  chime. 


-  269  - 

Those  joyous  hours  are  passed  away 
And  many  a  heart  that  then  was  gay, 
Within  the  tomb  now  darkly  dwells, 
And  hears  no  more  those  evening-bells. 

And  so't  will  be  when  I  am  gone: 
That  tuneful  peal  will  still  ring  on, 
While  other  bards  shall  walk  these  dells, 
And  sing  our  praise,  sweet  evening-bells! 

Th.  Moore. 


0.  The  Disobedient  Little  Fisb. 


«Dear  Mother*,  said  a  little  fish, 
«Pray  is  not  that  a  fly? 

I'm  very  hungry,  and  I  wish 
You'd  let  me  go  and  try*. 

« Sweet  innocent*  ,the  mother  cried 
And  started  from  her  nook, 

«That  horrid  fly  is  put  to  hide 
The  sharpness  of  the  hook». 

Now,  as  Tve  heard,  this  little 

trout 
Was  young  and  foolish  too, 
And  so  he  thought  he'd  venture 

out 
To  see  if  it  were  true. 


And   round  about  the  hook  he 

playM 
With  many  a  longing  look, 
And  —  «Dear  me»,  to  himself 

he  said, 
«rm  sure  that's  not  a  hook*. 

I  can  but  give  a  little  pluck: 
Let's  see,  and  so  I  will*. 

So,  on  he  went,  and  lo !  it  struck 
Quite  through  his  little  gill. 

And  as  he  faint  and  fainter  grew 
With  hollow  voice  he  cried: 

«Dear  Mother,  had  I  minded  you, 
I  need  not  now  have. died*. 


7.  The  Idle  Boy. 


Young  Thomas  was  an  idle  lad, 
And  lounged  about  all  day; 

And  though  he  many  a  lesson  had, 
He  minded  nought  but  play. 


He  only  car'd  for  tops  and  ball, 
Or  marbles,  hoop,  and  kite; 

But  as  for  learning,  that  was  all 
Neglected  by  him  quite. 


—  270  — 


In  vaio  his  mother's  kind  advice, 
Id  vain  his  master's  care; 

He  followed  ev'ry  idle  vice, 
And  learned  to  curse  and  swear. 


Without  a  shilling  in  his  purse, 

Or  cot  to  call  his  own, 

Poor  Thomas  grew  from  bad  to 

worse, 

And  hardened  as  a  stone. 

And  oh !  it  grieves  me  much  to 

write 
His  melancholy  end; 
Then  let  us  leave  the  dreadful 

sight, 
And  thoughts  of  pity  send. 

Bui  may  we  this  important  truth 

Observe  and  ever  hold, 
«That  most  who're  idle  in  their  youth, 
Are  wicked,  when  they're  old». 


And  think  you,  when  lie  grew  a 

man, 

He  prospered  in  his  ways? 
No  —  wicked  courses  never  can 

Bring  good  and  happy  days. 


8.  The 

Monkey,  little  merry  fellow. 
Thou  art  Nature's  Punchinello; 
Full  of  fun  as  Puck  could  be  — 
Harlequin  might  learn  of  thee! 

In  the  very  ark,  no  doubt, 
You  went  frolicking  about, 
Never  keeping  in  your  mind 
Drowned  monkeys  left  behind. 

Have  you  no  traditions?  —  none 
Of  the  court  of  Solomon? 
No  memorial  how  you  went 
With  Prince  Hiram's  armament? 

Look  at  him  now!  —  slily  peep; 
He  pretends  he  is  asleep; 
Fast  asleep  upon  his  bed, 
With  his  arm  beneath  his  head. 


Monkey. 

Now  that  posture  is  not  right, 
And  he  is  not  settled  quite; 
There!  that's  better  than  before  — 
And  the  knave  pretends  to  snore. 

Ha!  he  is  not  half  asleep; 
See,  he  slily  takes  a  peep. 
Monkey,  though  your  eyes  were 

shut, 
You  could  see  this  little  nut. 

You  shall  have  it,  pigmy  brother ! 
What!  another!  and  another! 
Nay ,  your  cheeks  are  like  a  sack,  — 
Sit  down,  and  begin  to  crack. 

There  the  little  ancient  man 
Cracks  as  fast  as  crack  he  can! 
Now  good-bye,  my  merry  fellow, 
Nature's  primest  Punchinello. 
Mary  Howitt.

9.   QiicstioDS  and  Answers. 


Who' showed  the  little  ant  the  way 
Her  narrow  hole  to  bore, 

And  spend  the  pleasant  summer  day 
In  laying  up  her  store? 

The  sparrow  builds  her  clever  nest 
Of  wool,  and  hay,  and  moss: 

Who  told  her  how  to  weave  it  best, 
And  lay  the  twigs  across? 


Who  taught  the  busy  bee  to  fly 
Among  the  sweetest  flowers, 

And  lay  his  feast  of  honey  by, 
To  eat  in  winter  hours? 

'T  was  God  who  showed  them  all 

the  way, 

And  gave  their  little  skill, 
And  teaches  children,  if  they  pray, 

To  do  his  holv  will. 


10.  A  Morning  Hymn. 

My  father,  I  thank  thee  for  sleep, 

For  quiet  and  peceable  rest; 
I  thank  thee  for  stooping  to  keep, 

An  infant  from  being  distrest. 
0,  how  can  a  poor  little  creature  repay 
Thy  fatherly  kindness  by  night  and  by  day ! 

My  voice  would  be  lisping  thy  praise, 
My  heart  would  repay  thee  with  love; 

0  teach  me  to  walk  in  thy  ways, 
And  fit  me  to  see  thee  above: 

For  Jesus  said:   «Let  little  children  come  nigh!* 
And  he  will  not  despise  such  an  infant  as  I. 

As  long  as  thou  seest  it  right, 

That  here  upon  earth  I  should  stay, 

1  pray  thee  to  guard  me  by  night, 
And  help  me  to  serve  thee  by  day; 

That  when  all  the  days  of  my  life  shall  have  past, 
I  may  worship  thee  better  in  heaven  at  last. 


11.  All  Eveoing  Hyin-u. 

Lord,  I  have  passed  another  day, 

And  come  to  thank  thee  for  thy  care, 

Forgive  my  faults  in  work  and  play, 
And  listen  to  my  evening  prayer. 

Thy  favour  gives  me  daily  bread, 

And  friends  who   all  my  wants  supply; 

And  safely  now  I  rest  my  head, 
Preserved  and  guarded  by  thine  eye. 

Look  down  in  pity  and  forgive, 
Whate'er  I've  said  or  done  amiss; 

And  help  me  every  day  I  live 

To  serve  thee  better  than  in  this.  ■ 

Now  while  I  speak,   be  pleased  to  take 
A  helpless  child  beneath  thy  care; 

And  condescend,  for  Jesus'  sake 
To  listen  to  my  evening  prayer. 


12.  The  Great  Shepherd. 


Knowest  thou  how  many  stars 
There  are  shining  in  the  sky? 
Knowest  thou  how  many  clouds 
Every  day  go  floating  by? 
God,  the  Lord,  has  counted  all; 
He  would  miss  one  should  it  fall. 


Knowest  thou  how  many  flies 
Flicker  in  the  noon-day  sun? 
Or  of  fishes  in  the  water? 
God  has  counted  every  one. 
Every  one  he  called  by  name, 
When  into  the  world  it  came. 


Knowest  thou  how  many  babes 
Go  to  little  beds  at  night? 
That  without  a  care  or  trouble 
Wake  up  with  the  morning  light? 
God  in  heaven  each  name  can  tell; 
Knows  thee  too,  and  loves  thee  well.

13.  The  Glow  Worm. 


Beneath  the  hedge,  or  near  the 

stream , 

A  worm  is  known  to  stray, 
That  shows  by  nighta  lucid  beam, 

Which  disappears  by  day. 

Disputes  have  been  and  still  pre- 
vail, 

From  whence  his  rays  proceed; 
Some  give  that  honuor  to  his  tail, 

And  others  to  his  head. 

But  this  is  sure,  the  hand  of  night, 
That  kindless  up  the  skies, 

Gives  him  a  modicum  of  light, 
ProportionM  to  his  size. 


Perhaps  indulgent  nature  meant, 
By  such  a  lamp  bestow'd. 

To  bid  the  traveller  as  he  went, 
Be  careful  where  he  trod. 

Nor  crush  a  worm,  whose  useful 

light 

Might  serve,  however  small, 
To  showa  stumbling  stone  by  night, 

And  save  him  from  a  fall 

Whate'er  she  meant,   this  truth 

divine 
Is  legible  and  plain, 
'Tis  power    almighty  bids   him 

shine , 
Nor  bids  him  shine  in  vain. 


Ye  proud  and  wealthy, let  this  then 
Teach  humbler  thoughts  to  you, 

Since  such  a  reptile  has  its  gem, 
And  boasts  its  splendour  too. 

Cowper. 


14.   God  Piovidelh  for  the  Morrow. 

Lo,  the  lilies  of  the  field, 
How  their  leaves  instruction  yield  I 
Hark  to  Nature's  lesson,  given 
By  the  blessed  birds  of  heaven ! 
Every  bush  and  tufted  tree 
Warbles  sweet  philosophy : 
Mortal,  fly  from  doubt  and  sorrow, 
God  provideth  for  the  morrow !

Say,  with  richer  crimson  glows 
The  kingly  mantle  than  the  rose? 
Say,  have  kings  more  wholesome  fare 
Than  we  poor  citizens  of  air? 
Barns  nor  hoarded  grains  have  we, 
Yet  we  carol  merrily. 
Mortal,  fly  from  doubt  and  sorrow, 
God  provideth  for  the  morrow! 

One  there  lives,  whose  guardian  eye 
Guides  our  humble  destiny; 
One  there  lives,  who  Lord  of  all, 
Keeps  our  feathers  lest  they  fall. 
Pass  we  blithely  then  the  time, 
Fearless  of  the  snare  and  lime, 
Free  from  doubt  and  faithless  sorrow: 
God  provideth  for  the  morrow ! 

(Reginal'd  Heber). 


15.  Paraphrase  on  Psalm  XXHI. 

The  Lord  my  pasture  shall  prepare, 
And  feed  me  with  a  shepherd's  care; 
His  presence  shall  my  wants  supply, 
And  guard  me  with  a  watchful  eye : 
My  noon-day  walks  he  shall  attend, 
And  all  my  midnight  hours  defend. 

When  in  the  sultry  glebe  I  faint, 
Or  on  the  thirsty  mountain  pant; 
To  fertile  vales  and  dewy  meads 
My  weary  wandering  steps  he  leads: 
Where  peaceful  rivers,  soft  and  slow, 
Amid  the  verdant  landscape  flow. 


—  275 


Though  in  the  paths  of  death  I  tread, 
With  gloomy  horrors  overspread, 
My  steadfast  heart  shall  fear  no  ill, 
For  thoQ,  0  Lord,  art  with  me  still; 
Thy  friendly  crook  shall  give  me  aid, 
And  guide  me  through  the  dreadful  shade. 

Though  in  a  bare  and  rugged  way, 
Throutjh  devious  lonely  wilds  I  stray, 
Thy  bounty  shall  my  wants  beguile: 
The  barren  wilderness  shall  smile, 
With  sudden  greens  and  herbage  crown'd , 
And  streams  shall  murmur  all  around.

16.  We  A 
A  simple  child 

That  lightly  draws  its  breath, 
And  feels  its  life  in  every  limb. 

What  should  it  know  of  death? 

I  met  a  little  cottage  girl; 
She  was  eight  years  old,  she 

said; 
Her  hair  was  thick  with  many  a 

curl 
That  clustered  round  her  head. 

She  had  a  rustic  woodland  air, 
And  she  was  wildly  clad; 

Her  eyes  were  fair,  and  very  fair — 
Her  beauty  made  me  glad. 

« Sisters  and  brothers,  little  maid, 
How  many  may  you  be?» 

«How  many?  Seven  in  all",  she 

said, 
And  wondering  looked  at  me. 


re  Seven. 

«And  where  are  they?  I  pray  you, 

telb. 

She  answered:  « Seven  are  we; 
And  two  of  us  at  Conway  dwell, 

And  two  are  gone  to  sea. 

«Two  of  us  in  the  churchyard  lie, 
My  sister  and  my  brother; 

And  in  the  churchyard-cottage,  I 
Dwell  near  them  with  my  mo- 
ther*. 

«You  say  that  two  at  Conway 

dwell, 
And  two  are  gone  to  sea. 
Yet  ye  are  seven!  —  I  pray  you, 

tell. 
Sweet  maid,  how  this  maybe?» 

Then  did  the  little  maid  reply, 
« Seven  boys  and  girls  are  we; 

Two  of  us  in  the  churchyard  lie. 
Beneath  the  churchyard  tree. 


276 


jYou  run  about,  my  little  maid, 
Your  limbs  they  are- alive; 

If  two  are  in  the  churchyard  laid, 
Then  ye  are  only  five. » 

« Their  graves  are  green,  they  may 

be  seen,)) 
The  little  maid  replied, 
« Twelve  steps  or  more  from  my 
•  mother's  door, 

And  they  are  side  by  side. 


stockings  there  I  often  knit, 
My  kerchief  there  I  hem, 
And  there  upon  the  ground  I  sit  — 
I  sit  and  sing  to  them. 

«And  often  after  sunset,  sir, 
When  it  is  light  and  fair, 

I  take  my  little  porringer, 
And  eat  my  supper  there. 


«The  first  that  died  was  little  Jane; 

In  bed  she  moaning  lay, 
Till  God  released  her  of  her  pain, 

And  then  she  went  away. 

kSo  in  the  churchyard  she  was 

laid; 
And  all  the  summer  dry, 
Together  round  her   grave   we 

playM  -- 
My  brother  John  and  I. 

«And  when  the  ground  was  white 

with  snow, 
And  I  could  run  and  slide, 
My  brother  John  was  forced  to 

go  — 
And  he  lies  by  her  side.> 

«How  many  are  you  then, » said  I, 
If  they  two  are  in  heaven  ?.» 

The  little  maiden  did  reply: 
«0  master!  we  are  seven. » 


«But  they  are  dead;  those  two  are  dead! 
•  Their  spirits  are  in  heaven  !» 
'Twas  throwing  words  away;  for  still 
The  little  maid  would  have  her  will, 
And  said:  «Nay,  we  are  seven !»

17.  The  Bundle  of  Sticks. 

A  good  old  man,  —  no  matter  where 
Whether  in  York  or  Lancashire, 
Or  on  a  hill,  or  in  a  dale, 
It  cannot  much  concern  our  tale,  — 
Had  children  very  much  like  others, 


—  277  — 

Composed  of  sisters  and  of  brothers; 

In  life  he  had  not  much  to  give, 

Save  his  example  how  to  live; 

His  luck  was  what  his  neighbours  had; 

For  some  were  good,  and  some  were  bad; 

When  of  their  father  death  bereft  'em, 

His  good  advice  was  all  he  left  'em. 

This  good  old  man  who  long  had  lain 
Afflicted  with  disease  and  pain, 
With  difficulty  drew  his  breath, 
And  felt  the  sure  approach  of  death. 
He  still  had  lived  an  honest  life, 
Kind  to  his  neighbour  and  his  wife; 
His  practice  good,  his  faith  was  sound, 
He  built  his  hopes  on  Scripture  ground; 
And  knowing  life  hangs  on  a  breath, 
He  always  lived  prepared  for  death; 
He  trusted  God,  nor  feared  to  die  — 
May  it  be  thus  with  you  and  I! 
Nor  let  us  hope  to  die  content, 
Unless  our  lives  be  wisely  spent. 

He  called  his  children  round  his  bed, 
And  with  a  feeble  voice  he  said: 
sAlas!  Alas!  my  children  dear, 
1  well  perceive  my  end  is  near : 
I  suffer  much,  but  kiss  the  rod, 
And  bow  me  to  the  will  of  God. 
Yet  ere  from  you  I'm  quite  removed, 
From  you  whom  always  I  have  loved, 
I  wish  to  give  you  all  my  blessing, 
And  leave  you  with  a  useful  lesson; 
That  when  Tve  left  this  world  of  care, 
Each  may  his  testimony  bear, 
How  much  my  latest  thoughts  inclined 
To  prove  me  tender,  good,  and  kind! 
Observe  that  fagot  on  the  ground, 
With  twisted  hazel  firmly  bound ». 


—  278  - 

The  children  turned  their  eyes  that  way, 
And  viewed  the  fagot  as  it  lay? 
But  wondered  what  their  father  meant, 
Who  thus  expounded  his  intent: 
«I  wish  that  all  of  you  would  take  it, 
And  try  if  any  one  can  break  it». 
Obedient  to  the  good  old  man, 
They  all  to  try  their  strength  began: 
Now  boy,  now  girl,  now  he,  now  she, 
Applied  the  fagot  to  their  knee; 
They  tuggM  and  strain'd,  and  tried  again, 
But  still  they  tugg'd  and  tried  in  vain! 
In  vain  their  skill  and  strength  exerted; 
The  fagot  every  effort  thwarted; 
And  when  their  labour  vain  they  found, 
They  threw  the  fagot  on  the  ground. 

Again  the  good  old  man  proceeded 
To  give  the  instructions  which  they  needed : 
« Untwist «,  says  he,  «the  hazel  bind, 
And  let  the  fagot  be  disjoined  ». 
Then  stick  by  stick,  and  twig  by  twig, 
The  little  children  and  the  big, 
Following  the  words  their  father  spoke, 
Each  sprig  and  spray  they  quickly  broke: 
« There,  father!*  all  began  to  cry, 
«rve  broken  mine!  —  and  I!  —  and  I!» 
Replied  the  sire :  « 'Twas  my  intent 
My  family  to  represent: 
While  you  are  join'd  in  friendship's  throng. 
My  dearest  children,  you'll  be  strong! 
But  if  by  quarrel  and  dispute, 
You  undermine  affection's  root, 
And  thus  the  strengthening  cord  divide. 
Then  will  my  children  ill  betide: 
E'en  beasts  of  prey  in  bands  unite, 
And  kindly  for  each  other  fight; 


—  2*79  — 

And  shall  not  Christian  children  be 
Joln'd  in  sweet  links  of  amity? 
If  separate,  you  will  each  be  weak; 
Each  like  a  single  stick  will  break: 
But  if  you're  firm,  and  true  and  hearty, 
The  world,  and  all  its  spite,  can't  part  ye». 
The  father  having  closed  his  lessou, 
Proceeded  to  pronounce  his  blessing: 
Embraced  them  all,  then  prayM  and  sighM, 
Look'd  up  and  dropp'd  his  head  —  and  died. 

Application. 

And  thus,  my  countrymen,   should  you, 
And  I,  and  all,  be  firm  and  true; 
If  Christian  faith  and  love  combine  us, 
And  sweet  afi'ection's  cord  entwine  us, 
We  need  encourage   no  dejection, 
Secure  in  the  Divine  protection; 
In  prospex'ous  days  we'll  bless  our  God, 
And  when  He  smites,  we'll  kiss  the  rod. 


18.  The  Hare  and  the  Tortoise. 

In  days  of  yore,  when  Time  was  young, 
When  birds  conversed  as  well  as  sung, 
When  power  of  speech  was  not  confined 
To  animals  of  human  kind,  — 
A  forward  Hare,  of  swiftness  vain. 
The  genius  of  the  neighbouring  plain, 
Would  oft  deride  the  trudging  crowd; 
For  geniuses  are  ever  proud. 
He'd  boast  his  flight  'twere  vain  to  follow, 
For  dog  and  horse,  heM  beat  them  hollow:  - 
Nay,  if  he  put  forth  all  his  strength, 
Outstrip  his  brethren  half  a  length. 

A  Tortoise  heard  his  vain  oration, 
And  vented  thus  his  iudiguation: 


—  280  ~ 

«0h  Puss!  it  bodes  thee  dire  disgrace, 

Wlien  I  defy  thee  to  the  race. 

Come,  'tis  a  match;  —  nay,  no  denial; 

I'll 'lay  my  shell  upon  the  trial». 

'Twas  done  and  done  —  all  fair  —  a  bet  ~ 

Judges  prepared,  and  distance  set. 

The  scampering  Hare  outsripped  the  wind; 

The  creeping  Tortoise  lagged  b'ehind, 

And  scarce  had  passed  a  single  pole. 

When  Pass  had  almost  reached  the  goal. 

«Friend  Tortoises,  quoth  the  jeering  Hare, 
«Your  burden's  more  than  you  can  bear; 
To  help  your  speed,  it  were  as  well 
That  I  should  ease  you  of  your  shell: 
Jog  on  a  little  faster  pr'ythee; 
I'll  take  a  nap,  and  then  be  with  thee». 
The  Tortoise  heard  his  taunting  jeer, 
But  still  resolved  to  presevere; 
Still  drawled  along,  as  one  might  say, 
Winning,  like  Fabius,  by  delay; 
On  to  the  goal  securely  crept, 
While  Puss,  unknowing,  soundly  slept. 

The  bets  were  won;  —  the  Hare  awoke, 
And  thus  the  victor  Tortoise  spoke: 
«Puss,  though  I  own  thy  quicker  parts, 
Things  are  not  always  done  by  starts; 
You  may  deride  my  awkward  pace,  — 
But  slow  and  steady  wins  the  race».

19.  Destruction  ofSeiiHncherib. 

The  Assyrian  came  down  like  the  wolf  on  the  fold. 
And  his  cohorts  were  gleaming  in  purple  and  gold; 
And  the  sheen  of  their  spears  was  like  stars  on  the  sea, 
When  the  blue  wave  rolls  nightly  on  deep  Galilee. 


Like  the  leaves  of  the  forest  when  summer  is  green, 
That  host  with  their  banners  at  sunset  were  seen; 
Like  the  leaves  of  the  forest  when  autumn  hath  blown, 
That  host  on  the  morrow  lay  withered  and  strown. 

For  the  Angel  of  Death  spread  his  wings  on  the  blast, 
And  breathed  on- the  face  of  the  foe  as  he  pass'd; 
And  the  eyes  of  the  sleepers  waxM  deadly  and  chill, 
And  their  hearts  but  once  heaved,  and  for  ever  grew  still 

And  there  lay  the  steed  with  his  nostril  all  wide. 
But  through  it  there  roll  d  not  the  breath  of  his  pride; 
And  the  foam  of  his  gasping  lay  white  on  the  turf, 
And  cold  as  the  spray  of  the  rock-beating  surf. 

And  there  lay  the  rider  distorted  and  pale, 
With  the  dew  on  his  brow  and  the  rust  on  his  mail; 
And  the  tents  were  all  silent,  the  banners  alone. 
The  lances  unlifted,  the  trumpet  unblown. 

And  the  widows  of  Ashur  are  loud  in  their  wail, 
And  the  idols  are  broke  in  the  temple  of  Baal; 
And  the  might  of  the  gentile,  unsmote  by  the  sword, 
Hath  melted  like  snow  in  the  glance  of  the  Lord.    ^ 

Byron. 


20.  Pity  for  Poor  Africans. 

I  own  I  am  shocked  at  the  purchase  of  slaves, 
And  fear  those  who  buy  them  and  sell  them  are  knaves; 
What  I  hear  of  their  hardships,  their  tortures  and  groans, 
Is  almost  enough  to  draw  pity  from  stones. 

I  pity  them  greatly,  but  I  must  be  mum. 
For  how  could  we  do  without  sugar  and  rum? 
Especially  sugar,  so  needful  we  see ! 
What!  give  up  our  desserts,  our  coffee,  and  tea! 

36 


—  2B2  — 

Besides,  if  we  do,  the  French,  Dutch,  and  Banes 
Will  heartily  thank  us,  no  doubt,  for  our  pains; 
If  we  do  not  buy  the  poor  creatures,  they  will, 
And  tortures  and  groans  will  be  multiplied  still. 

If  foreigners  likewise  would  give  up  the  trade. 
Much  more  in  behalf  of  your  wish  might  be  said : 
But  while  they  get  riches  by  purchasing  blacks, 
Pray  tell  me  why  we  may  not  also  go  snacks  ? 

Your  scruples  and  arguments  bring  to  my  mind 
A  story  so  pat,  you  may  think  it  is  coin'd, 
On  purpose  to  answer  you,  out  of  my  mint; 
But  I  can  assure  you,  I  saw  it  in-print. 

A  youngster  at  school,  more  sedate  than  the  rest. 
Had  once  his  integrity  put  to  the  test; 
His  comrades  had  plotted  an  orchard  to  rob, 
And  asked  him  to  go  and  assist  in  the  job. 

He  was  shock'd,  Sir,  like  you,  and  answer'd  «0h  no: 
What!  rob  our  good  neighbour!  I  pray  you  donit  go; 
Besides,  the  man's  poor,  his  orchard's  his  bread,     ' 
Then  think  of  his  children,  for  they  must  be  fed». 

«You  speak  very  fine,  and  you  look  very  grave, 
But  aples  we  want,  and  apples  we'll  have; 
If  you  will  go  with  us,  you  shall  have  a  share, 
If  not,  you  shall  have  neither  apple  nor  pear». 

They  spoke  and  Tom  ponder'd  —  «I  see  they  will  go: 
Poor  Man!  what  a  pity  to  injure  him  so!  — 
Poor  Man!  I  would  save  him  his  fruit  if  I  could, 
But  staying  behind  will  do  him  no  good. 

If  the  matter  depended  alone  upon  me, 
His  apples  might  hang  till  they  dropp'd  from  the  tree; 
But  since  they  will  take  them,  I  think  I'll  go  too, 
He  will  lose  none  by  me,  though  I  get  a  few. 


—  283  - 

His  scruples  thus  silenc'd,  Tom  felt  more  at  ease,  ^' 

And  went  with  his  comrades,  the  apples  to  seize; 
He  blam'd  and  protested,  but  joined  in  the  plan; 
He  shar'd  in  the  plunder,  but  pitied  the  man, 

Cowper. 


21.   My  Heart's  in  the  His^hlands. 

My  heart's  in  the  Highlands,  my  heart  is  not  here; 
My  heart's  in  the  Highlands,  a  chasing  the  deer, 
Chasing  the  wild  deer,  and  following  the  roe  — 
My  heart's  in  the  Highlands,  wherever  I  go. 
Farewell  to  the  Highlands,  farewell  to  the  North, 
The  birthplace  of  valour,  the  country  of  worth ! 
Wherever  I  wander,  wherever  I  rove, 
The  hills  of  the  Highlands  for  ever  I  love. 

Farewell  to  the  mountains  high  covered  with  snow ; 
Farewell  to  the  straths  and  green  valleys  below; 
Farewell  to  the  forests  and  wild-hanging  woods; 
Farewell  to  the  torrents  and  wild-pouring  floods ! 
My  heart's  in  the  Highlands,  my  heart  is  not  here. 
My  heart's  in  the  Highlands,  a  chasing  the  deer, 
Chasing  the  wild  deer,  and  following  the  roe  — 
My  heart's  in  the  Highlands,  wherever  I  go. 

(Robert  Burns). 


22.  Rule  Britannia. 


When  Britain  first  at  Heaven's 

Command 

Arose  from  out  the  azure  main, 

This  was  the  charter  of  her  land, 

And   guardian  angels  sang  the 

strain: 


Rule  Britannia !  Britannia  rule  the 

waves ! 
Britons  never  shall  be  slaves ! 

The  nations  not  so  blest  as  thee 
Must  in  their  turn  to  tyrants  fall, 


—  284  — 


Whilst  thou  shalt  flourish  great 

and  free, 
The  dread  and  envy  of  them  all. 
Rule  Britannia!  etc. 

Still  more  majestic  shalt  thou  rise, 
HQie  dreadful  from  each  foreign 

•   stroke; 
As  the  loud  blast  that  tears  the 

skies 
Serves  but  to  root  thy  native  oak. 
Rule  Britannia!  etc. 

Thee  haughty  tj  rants  ne'er  shall 

tame; 

All  their  attempts  to  bend  thee 

down 

Will  but  arouse  thy  generous  flame 

And  work  their  woe  and  thy  re- 
nown. 

Rule  Britannia!  etc. 


To  thee  belongs  the  rural  reign; 
Thy  cities  shall  with  commerce 

shine, 
All  thine  shall  be  the  subject  main, 
And  every  shore  it  circles  thine! 
Rule  Britannia !  etc. 

The  Muses,  still  with  Freedom 

found, 

Shall  to  thy  happy  coast  repair: 

Blest  Isle,  with  matchless  beauty 
crown'd. 

And  manly  hearts  to  guard  the 

fair:  — 

Rule  Britannia!  Britannia  rule  the 

waves! 

Britons  never  shall  be  slaves ! 

(Thomson). 


23.  The  Inchcape  Rock. 

No  stir  in  the  air,  no  stir  in  the  sea, 
The  ship  was  still  as  she  could  be. 
Her  sails  from  heaven  received  no  motion, 
Her  keel  was  steady  in  the  ocean. 

Without  either  sign  or  sound  of  their  shock 
The  waves  flow'd  over  the  Inchcape  Rock; 
So  little  they  rose,  so  little  they  fell. 
They  did  not  move  the  Inchcape  Bell. 

The  Abbot  of  Aberbrothok 
Had  placed  that  bell  on  the  Inchcape  Rock; 
On  a  buoy  in  the  storm  it  floated  and  swung, 
And  over  the  waves  its  warning  run. 


—  285  —  * 

When  the  Rock  was  hit  by  the  surge's  swell, 
The  mariners  heard  the  warning  bell; 
And  then  they  knew  the  perilous  Rock, 
And  blest  the  Abbot  of  Aberbrothok. 

The  Sun  in  heaven  was  shining  gay, 
All  things  were  joyful  on  that  day;    - 
The  sea-birds  scream'd  as  they  wheel'd  round, 
And  there  was  joyance  in  their  sound. 

The  buoy  of  the  Inchcape  Bell  was  seen 
A  darker  speck  on  the  ocean  green; 
Sir  Ralph  the  Rover  walk'd  his  deck, 
And  he  fixed  his  eye  on  the  darker  speck. 

He  felt  the  cheering  power  of  spring, 
It  made  him  whistle,  it  made  him  sing; 
His  heart  was  mirthful  to  excess, 
But  the  Rover's  mirth  was  wickedness. 

His  eye  was  on  the  Inchcape  float; 
Quoth  he,  «My  men.  put  out  the  boat, 
And  row  me  to  the  Inchcape  Rock, 
And  ril  plague  the  Abbot  of  Aberbrothok ». 

The  boat  is  lower'd,  the  boatmen  row, 
And  to  the  Inchcape  Rock  they  go; 
Sir  Ralph  bent  over  from  the  boat, 
And  he  cut  the  Bell  from  the  Inchcape  float. 

Down  sunk  the  Bell  with  a  gurgling  sound, 
The  bubles  rose  and  burst  around; 
Quoth  Sir  Ralph,  «The  next  who  comes  to  the  Rock 
Wo'nt  bless  the  Abbot  of  Aberbrothok*. 

Sir  Ralph  the  Rover  sailM  away, 
He  scour'd  the  seas  for  many  a  day; 
And  now  grown  rich  with  plundered  store, 
He  steers  his  course  for  Scotland's  shore. 


—  286  — 

So  thick  a  haze  o'erspreads  the  sky 
They  cannot  see  the  Sun  on  high; 
The  wind  hath  blown  a  gale  all  day, 
At  evening  it  hath  died  away. 

On  the  deck  the  Rover  takes  his  stand, 
So  dark  it  is  they  see  no  land. 
Quoth  Sir  Ralph,  «lt  will  be  lighter  soon, 
For  there  is  the  dawn  of  the  rising  Moono. 

« Canst  hear»,  said  one,  «the  breakers  roar? 
For  methinks  we  should  be  near  the  shore ». 
«Now  where  we  are  I  cannot  tell, 
But  I  wish  I  could  hear  the  Inchcape  Bell! 

They  hear  no  sound,  the  swell  is  strong; 
Though  the  wind  hath  fallen  they  drift  along, 
Till  the  vessel  strikes  with  a  shivering  shock,  — 
«0h  Christ!  it  is  the  Inchcape  Rock!» 

Sir  Ralph  the  Rover  tore  his  hair; 
He  curst  himself  in  his  despair ; 
The  waves  rush  in  on  every  side. 
The  ship  is  sinking  beneath  the  tide. 

But  even  in  his  dying  fear 
One  dreadful  sound  could  the  Rover  hear, 
A  sound  as  if  with  the  Inchcape  Bell, 
The  Devil  below  was  ringing  his  knell. 

(Robert  Southey). 


24.  Sir  Lancelot  du  Lake. 


When  Arthur  first  in  court  began, 
And  was  approved  king. 

By  force  of  arms  great  victories 

wan, 
And  conquest  home  did  bring. 


Then   into  England  straight  he 

came, 

Where  fifty  good  and  able 
Knights  then  resorted  unto  him. 

And  were  of  his  Round  table : 


287 


And  he  had  justs  and  turnaments, 
Whereto  were  many  prest, 

Wherein   these   knights  did   far 

excell 
And  eke  surmount  the  rest. 

But  one  Sir  Lancelot  du  Lake, 
Who  was  approved  well, 

He  for  his  deeds  and  feats  of  arms 
All  others  did  excell. 

When  he  had  rested  him  a  while, 
In  play,  and  game,  and  sport, 

He  said  he  would  go  prove  himself 
In  some  adventurous  sort. 

He  armed  rode  in  a  forest  wide, 
And.met  a  damsel  fair, 

Who  told  him  of  adventures  great. 
Whereto  he  gave  great  care. 

Such  would  I  find,  quoth  Lancelot, 
For  that  cause  came  I  hither. 

Thou  seemst,  quoth  she,  a  knight 

full  good, 
And  I  will  bring  thee  thither. 

Whereas  a  mighty  knight  doth 

dwell, 
That  now  is  of  great  fame  : 
Therefore  tell  me  what  wight  thou 

art, 
And  what  may  be  thy  name. 

«My  name  is  Lancelot  du  Lake.* 
Quoth  she,  it  likes  me  then: 

Here  dwells  a  knight  who  never 

was 
Yet  matched  with  any  man: 


Who   has   in  prison   threescore 

knights 
And  four,  that  he  did  wound ; 
Knights  of  King  Arthur's  court 

they  be. 
And  of  his  Table  Round. 

She  brought  him  to  a  river  side, 

And  also  to  a  tree. 
Whereon  a  copper  bason  hung. 

And  many  shields  to  see. 

He  struck  so  hard, the  bason  broke; 

And  Tarquin  soon  he  spied : 
Who  drove  a  horse  before  him  fast, 

Whereon  a  knight  lay  tied. 

Sir  knight,  then  said  Sir  Lancelot, 
Bring  me  that  horse- load  hi- 
ther, 
And  lay  him  down,  and  let  him 

rest; 
We^ll  try  our  force  together: 

For,  as  I  understand,  thou  hast, 
So  far  as  thou  art  able, 

Done  great  despite  and  shame  unto 
The  knights  of  theRound  Table. 

If  thou  be  of  the  Table  Round, 
Quoth  Tarquin  speedily, 

Both  thee  and  all  thy  fellowship 
I  utterly  defy. 

That's  over  much,  quoth  Lancelot 

though. 
Defend  thee  by  and  by. 
They  set  their  spurs  unto  their 

steeds, 
And  each  at  other  fly. 


—  288 


They  couched  their  spears,  (their 

horses  ran, 
As    though    there    had    been 

thunder) 
And  struck  them  each  immidst 

their  shields, 
Wherewith  they  broke  in  sun- 
der. 

Their  horses'  backs  brake  under 

them, 
The  knights  were  both  astound : 
To  avoid  their  horses  they  made 

haste 
And  light  upon  the  ground. 

They  took  them  to  their  shields 

full  fast, 
Their  swords  they   drew  out 

then. 
With  mighty  strokes  most  eagerly 
Each  at  the  other  ran. 

They  wounded  were,  and  bled  full 

sore. 

They  both  for  breath  did  stand, 
Andleaningon  their  swords  awhile, 

Quoth  Tarquin,  Hold  thy  hand. 

And  tell  to  me  what  I  shall  ask. 

Say  on,  quoth  Lancelot  though. 
Thou  art,  quoth  Tarquin,  the  best 

knight 

That  ever  I  did  know; 

And  like  a  knight  that  I  did  hate: 
So  that  thou  be  not  he, 

I  will  deliver  all  the  rest, 
And  eke  accord  with  thee. 


That  is  well  said,  quoth  Lancelot: 
But  sith  it  must  be  so, 

What  knight  is  that  thou  hatest 

thus? 
I  pray  thee  to  me  show. 

His  name  is  Lancelot  du  Lake 
He  slew  my  brother  dear; 

Him  I  suspect  of  all  the  rest: 
I  would  I  had  him  here. 

Thy  wish  thou  hast,  but  yet  un- 
known, 
I  am  Lancelot  du  Lake, 
Now  knight    of  Arthur's    Table 

Round, 
King  Hand's  son  of  Benwake; 

• 

And  1  desire  thee  do  thy  worst. 

Ho,  ho,  quoth  Tarquin  though. 
One  of  us  two  shall  end  our  lives 

Before  that  we  do  go. 

If  thou  be  Lancelot  du  Lake, 
Then  welcome  shalt  thou  be: 

Wherefore  see  thou  thyself  defend, 
For  now  defy  I  thee. 

They  buckled  then  together  so, 
Like  unto  wild  boars  rashing 

And  with  their  swords  and  shields 

they  ran 
At  one  another  slashing: 

The  ground  besprinkled  was  with 

blood: 

Tarquin  began  to  yield; 
For  he  gave  back  for  weariness. 

And  low  did  bear  his  shield. 


289 


This  soon  Sir  Lancelot  espied, 
He  leapt  upon  him  then, 

He  pullM   him  down  upon    his 

knee, 
And,  rushing  off  his  helm. 


Forthwilhhestruckhisneckintwo, 
And,  when  be  had  so  done. 

From  prison  threescore  knights 

and  four 
Delivered  every  one. 


25.  King  Leir  and  His  Three  Daughters, 

King  Leir  once  ruled  in  this  land 

"With  princely  power  and  peace; 
And  had  all  things  with  heart's  content. 

That  might  his  joys  increase. 
Amongst  those  things  that  nature  gave, 

Three  daughters  fair  had  he. 
So  princely  seeming  beautiful, 

As  fairer  could  not  be. 


So  on  a  time  it  pleased  the  king 

A  question  thus  to  move, 
Which  of  his  daughters  to  his  grace 

Could  show  the  dearest  love: 
For  to  my  age  you  bring  content, 

Quoth  he,  then  let  me  hear. 
Which  of  you  three  in  plighted  troth 

The  kindest  will  appear. 

To  whom  the  eldest  thus  began: 

Dear  father,  mind,  quoth  she. 
Before  your  face,   to  do  you  good, 

My  blood  shall  renderM  be: 
And  for  your  sake  my  bleeding  heart 

Shall  here  be  cut  in  twain, 
Ere  that  I  see  your  reverend  age     . 

The  smallest  grief  sustain. 

And  so  will  I,  the  second  said, 
Dear  father,  for  your  sake; 


37 


—  290  — 

The  worst  of  all  extremities 

ril  gently  undertake: 
And  serve  your  highness  night  and  day 

With  diligence  and  love; 
That  sweet  content  and  quietness 

Discomforts  may  remove. 

• 

In  doing  so,  you  glad  my  soul, 

The  aged  king  reply'd: 
But  what  sayst  thou,  my  youngest  girl, 

How  is  thy  love  ally'd? 
My  love,  quoth  young  Cordelia  then, 

Which  to  your  grace  I  owe. 
Shall  be  the  duty  of  a  child, 

And  that  is  all  Fll  show. 

And  wilt  thou  show  no  more,  quoth  he, 

Than  doth  thy  duty  bind? 
I  well  perceive  thy  love  is  small, 

When  as  no  more  I  find. 
Henceforth  I  banish  thee  my  court, 

Thou  art  no  child  of  mine; 
Nor  any  part  of  this  my  realm 

By  favour  shall  be  thine. 

Thy  elder  sisters'  loves  are  more 

Than  Avell  I  can  demand, 
To  whom  I  equally  bestow 

My  kingdom  and  my  land, 
My  pompal  state  and  all  my  goods, 

That  lovingly  I  may 
With  those  thy  sisters  be  maintained 

Until  my  dying  day. 

Thus  flattering  speeches  won  renown. 

By  these  two  sisters  here; 
The  third  had  causeless  banishment. 

Yet  was  her  love  more  dear: 


—  291  — 

For  poor  Cordelia  patiently 

Went  wandering  up  and  down, 
Unhelp'd,  unpity'd,  gentle  maid, 
Through  many  an  English  town. 

Until  at  last  in  famous  France 

She  gentler  fortunes  found; 
Though  poor  and  bare,  yet  she  was  deem'd 

The  fairest  on  the  ground: 
Where  ^hen  the  king  her  virtues  heard, 

And  this  fair  lady  seen, 
With  full  consent  of  all  his  court. 

He  made  his  wife  and  queen. 

Her  father  King  Leir  this  while 

With  his  two  daughters  staid : 
Forgetful  of  their  promised  loves, 

Full  soon  the  same  decayM; 
And  living  in  Queen  Ragan's  court, 

The  eldest  of  the  twain, 
She  took  from  him  his  chiefest  means, 

And  most  of  all  his  train. 

For  whereas  twenty  men  were  wont 

To  wait  with  bended  knee: 
She  gave  allowance  but  to  ten, 

And  after  scarce  to  three; 
Nay,  one  she  thought  too  much  for  him; 

So  took  she  all  away, 
In  hope  that  in  her  court,   good  king, 
He  would  no  longer  stay. 

Am  I  rewarded  thus,  quoth  he, 

In  giving  all  I  have 
Unto  my  children,  and  to  beg 

For  what  I  lately  gave? 
ru  go  unto  my  Gonorell: 

My  second  child,  I  know, 


—  292  — 

Will  be  more  kind  and  pitiful, 
And  will  relieve  my  woe. 

Full  fast  he  hies  then  to  her  court; 

Where  when  she  heard  his  moan 
ReturnM  him  answer,  That  she  griev'd, 

That  all  his  means  were  gone: 
But  no  way  could  relieve  his  wants; 

Yet  if  that  he  would  stay 
Within  her  kitchen,  he  should  have 

What  scullions  gave  away. 

When  he  had  heard,  with  hitter  tears, 

He  made  his  answer  then; 
In  what  I  did  let  me  be  made 

Example  to  all  men. 
I  will  return  again,  quoth  he, 

Unto  my  Ragan's  court; 
She  will  not  use  me  thus,  I  hope, 

But  in  a  kinder  sort. 

Where  when  he  came,  she  gave  command 

To  drive  him  thence  away: 
When  he  was  well  within  her  court, 

She  said,  he  would  not  stay. 
Then  back  again  to  Gonorell 

The  woeful  king  did  hie, 
That  in  her  kitchen  he  might  have 

What  scullion  boys  set  by. 

But  there  of  that  he  was  deny'd 

Which  she  had  promised  late: 
For  once  refusing,   he  should  not 

Come  after  to  her  gate. 
Thus  twixt  his  daughters,  for  relief 

He  wanderM  up  and  down; 
Being  glad  to  feed  on  beggars'  food, 

That  lately  wore  a  crown. 


—  293  -    . 

And  calling  to  remembrance  then 

His  youngest  daughter's  words, 
That  said  the  duty  of  a  child 

Was  all  that  love  affords: 
But  doubting  to  repair  to  her 

Whom  he  had  banish'd  so, 
Grew  frantic  mad;  for  in  his  mind 

He  bore  the  wounds  of  woe: 

Which  made  him  rend  his  milk  white  locks, 

And  tresses  from  his  liead, 
And  all  with  blood  bestain  his  cheeks, 

With  age  and  honour  spread. 
To  hills  and  woods  and  watry  founts 

He  made  his  hourly  moan, 
Till  hills  and  woods  and  senseless  things 

Did  seem  to  sigh  and  groan. 

Even  thus  possest  with  discontents, 

He  passed  o'er  to  France, 
In  hopes  from  fair  Cordelia  there, 

To  find  some  gentler  chance; 
Most  virtuous  dame!  which  when  she  heard 

Of  this  her  father's  grief. 
As  duty  bound,  she  quickly  sent 

Him  comfort  and  relief: 

And  by  a  train  of  noble  peers, 

In  brave  and  gallant  sort, 
She  gave  in  charge  he  should  be  brought 

To  Aganippus'  court; 
Whose  royal  king,  with  noblfr  mind 

So  freely  gave  consent. 
To  muster  up  his  knights  at  arms, 

To  fame  and  courage  bent. 

And  so  to  England  came  with  speed, 
To  repossess  King  Leir, 


And  drive  his  daughters  from  their  thrones 

By  his  Cordelia  dear. 
Where  she,  true-hearted  noble  queen, 

Was  in  the  battle  slain; 
Yet  he  good  King,  in  his  old  days, 

Possest  his  crown  again. 

But  when  he  heard  Cordelia's  death, 

Who  died  indeed  for  love 
Of  her  dear  father,  in  whose  cause 

She  did  this  battle  move, 
He  swooning  fell  upon  her  breast. 

From  whence  he  never  parted; 
But  on  her  bosom  left  his  life, 

That  was  so  truly  hearted. 

The  lords  and  nobles  when  they  saw 

The  end  of  these  events, 
The  other  sisters  nnto  death 

They  doomed  by  consents; 
And  being  dead  their  crowns  they  left 

Unto  the  next  of  kin: 
Thus  have  you  seen  the  fall  of  pride, 

And  disobedient  sin. 


26.  King  John  and  the  Abbot  of  Canterbury. 

An  ancient  story  Til  tell  you  anon 
Of  a  notable  prince  that  was  called  King  John ; 
And  he  ruled  England  with  main  and  with  might, 
For  he  did  great  wrong,  and  maintain'd  little  right. 

And  I'll  tell  you  a  story,  a  story  so  merry, 
Concerning  the  Abbot  at  Canterbury; 
How  for  his  house-keeping  and  high  renown 
They  rode  post  for  him  to  fair  London  town. 


—  295  - 

A  hundred  men,  the  king  did  hear  say, 
The  abbot  kept  in  his  house  every  day; 
And  fifty  gold  chains  *),  without  any  doubt, 
In  velvet  coats  waited  the  abbot  about. 

How  now,  father  abbot,  I  hear  it  of  thee, 
Thou  keepest  a  far  better  house  than  me, 
And  for  thy  house-keeping  and  great  renown, 
I  fear  thou  workst  treason  against  my  crown. 

My  liege,  quo'  the  abbot,  I  would  it  were  known, 
I  never  spend  nothing  but  what  is  my  own; 
And  I  trust,  your  Grace  will  do  me  no  dear 
For  spending  of  my  own  true  gotten  gear. 

Yes,  yes,  father  abbot,  thy  fault  is  so  high, 
And  now  for  the  same  thou  needs  must  die ; 
For  except  thou  canst  answer  me  questions  three, 
Thy  head  shall  be  smitten  from  thy  body. 

And  first,  quo'- the  king,  when  I'm  in  this  stead, 
With  my  crown  of  gold  so  fair  on  my  head. 
Among  all  my  liege- men  so  noble  of  birth  , 
Thou  must  tell  me  to  one  penny  what  I  am  worth. 

Secondly  tell  me,  without  any  doubt, 
How  soon  I  may  ride  the  whole  world  about. 
And  at  the  third  question  thou  must  not  shrink, 
But  tell  me  here  truly  what  I  do  think. 

0,  these  are  hard  questions  for  my  shallow  wit, 
Nor  I  cannot  answer  your  Grace  as  yet: 
But  if  you  will  give  me  but  three  weeks'  space, 
I'll  do  my  endeavour  to  answer  your  Grace. 


*)  Gold  chainsrrvassals  decorated  with  gold  chains. 


—  296  —     " 

Now  -three  weeks'  space  to  thee  will  I  give, 
And  that  is  the  longest  time  thou  hast  to  live; 
For  if  thou  dost  not  answer  my  questions  three , 
Thy  lands  and  thy  livings  are  forfeit  to  me. 

Away  rode  the  abbot  all  sad  at  that  word, 
And  he  rode  to  Cambridge  and  Oxenford; 
But  never  a  doctor  there  was  so  wise, 
That  could  with  his  learning  an  answer  devise. 

Then  home  rode  the  abbot  of  comfort  so  cold. 
And  he  met  his  shepherd  a  going  to  fold : 
How  now,  my  lord  abbot,  you  are  welcome  home; 
What  news  do  you  bring  us  from  good  King  John? 

Sad  news,  sad  news,  shepherd,  I  must  give, 
That  I  have  but  three  days  more  to  live. 
For  if  I  do  not  answer  him  questions  three, 
My  head  will  be  smitten  from  my  body. 

The  first  is  to  tell  him  there  in  his  stead , 
With  his  crown  of  gold  so  fair  on  hi's  head. 
Among  all  his  liege- men,  so  noble  of  birth, 
To  within  one  penny  of  what  he  is  worth. 

The  second,  to  tell  him  without  any  doubt. 
How  soon  he  may  ride  this  world  about; 
And  at  the  third  question  I  must  not  shrink, 
But  tell  him  there  truly  what  he  does  think. 

Now  cheer  up,  sir  abbot ;  did  you  never  hear  yet, 
That  a  fool  he  may  learn  a  wise  man  wit? 
Lend  me  horse,  and  serving  men,  and  your  apparel, 
And  I'll  ride  to  London  to  answer  your  quarrel. 

Nay,  frown  not,  if  it  hath  been  told  unto  me, 
I  am  like  your  lordship,  as  ever  may  be; 
And  if  you  will  but  lend  me  your  gown, 
There  is  none  shall  know  us  at  fair  London  town. 


—  297  — 

Now  horses  and  serving-meu  thou  shall  have, 
With  sumptuous  array  most  gallant  and  brave; 
With  crosier,  and  mitre,  and  rochet,  and  cope, 
Fit  to  appear  'fore  our  father  the  pope. 

Now  welcome,  sir  abbot,  the  king  he  did  say, 
'Tis  well  thou'rt  come  back  to  keep  thy  day; 
For  if  thou  canst  answer  my  questions  three, 
Thy  life  and  thy  living  both  saved  shall  be. 

And  first,  when  thou  seestme  here  in  this  stead, 
With  my  crown  of  gold  so  fair  on  my  head , 
Among  all  my  liege-men  so  noble  of  birth, 
Tell  me  to  one  penny  what  I  am  worth. 

For  thirty  pence  our  Saviour  was  sold 
Among  the  false  Jews,  as  I  have  been  told; 
And  twenty-nine  is  the  worth  of  thee , 
For  I  think  thou  art  one  penny  worser  than  he. 

The  king  he  laughed,  and  swore  by  St.  Bittel, 
I  did  not  think  I  had  been  worth  so  little !  — 
Now  secondly  tell  me,  without  any  doubt , 
How  soon  I  may  ride  this  whole  world  about. 

You  must  rise  with  the  sun,  and  ride  with  the  same, 
Until  the  next  morning  he  riseth  again ; 
And  then  your  Grace  need  not  make  any  doubt, 
But  in  twenty- four  hours  you'll  ride  it  about. 

The  king  he  laughed,  and  swore  by  St.  John , 
I  did  not  think,  it  could  be  gone*)  so  soon  !  — 
Now  from  the  third  question  thou  must  not  shrink, 
But  tell  me  here  truly  what  I  do  think. 

Yea,  that  shall  I  do,  and  make  your  Grace  merry: 
You  think  I'm  the  abbot  of  Canterbury;  • 


*)  Gone  z:z  gone  about. 


—  29B  -~ 

But  I'm  his  poor  shepherd,  as  plain  you  may  see, 
That  am  come  to  heg  pardon  for  him  and  for  me. 

The  Idng  he  laughed,  and  swore  by  the  mass: 
I'll  make  thee  lord  abbot  this  day  in  his  place!  ■— 
Nuvv  nay,  my  liege,  bo  not  in  such  speed, 
For  alack!  I  can  neither  write  nor  read. 


Four  nobles  a  week  then  I  will  give  thee. 
For  this  merry  jest  thou  hast  shown  unto  me; 
And  tell  the  old  abbot,  when  thou  comest  home. 
Thou  hast  brought  him  a  pardon  from  good  King  John.

27.  Chevy- Chase. 


God  prosper  long  our  noble  king, 
Our  lives  and  safeties  all; 

A  woful  hunting  once  there  did 
In  Chevy-Chase  befall. 

To  drive  the  deer  with  hound  and 

horn, 

Earl  Percy  took  his  way ; 
The  child  may  rue  that  is  unborn, 

The  hunting  of  that  day. 

The  stout  Earl  of  Northumberland 
A  vow  to.  God  did  make, 

His  pleasure  in  the  Scottish  woods 
Three  summer's  day  to  take; 

The  chiefest  harts  in  Chevy-Chase 
To  kill  and  bear  away. 

These  tidings  toEarl  Douglas  came. 
In  Scotland  where  he  lay: 

Who  sent  Earl  Percy  present  word, 
He  would  prevent  his  sport. 


The  English  Earl,  not  fearing  that, 
Did  to  the  woods  resort. 

With   fifteen   hundred   bow-men 

bold, 

All  chosen  men  of  might, 
Who  knew  full  well  in  time  of  need 

To  aim  their  shafts  aright. 

The  gallant  grey  hounds  swiftly  ran, 
To  chase  the  fallow  deer : 

On  Monday  they  began  to  hunt, 
Ere  daylight  did  appear; 

And  longbefore  high  noon  they  had 
An  hundred  fat  bucks  slain; 

Then  ha vingdined  the  drovers  went 
To  rouse  the  deer  again. 

Thebow- men  muster'd  on  the  hills, 

Well  able  to  endure ; 
Their  backsides  all ,  with  special 

care 

That  day  were  guarded  sure. 


—  299 


The  hounds  ran  swiftly  through 

the  woods 
The  nimble  deer  to  take, 
That  with  their  cries  the  hills  and 

dales 
An  echo  shrill  did  make. 

Lord  Percy  to  the  quarry  went, 
To  view  the  slaughter'd  deer; 

Quoth  he,  Earl  Douglas  promised 
This  day  to  meet  me  here : 

But  if  I  thoughthe  would  not  come. 
No  longer  would  I  stay. 

With  that  a  brave  young  gentleman 
Thus  to  the  Earl  did  say: 

Lo,  yonder  doethEarlDouglas  come- 
His  men  in  armour  bright; 

Full  twenty  hundred  Scottish  spears 
All  marching  in  our  sight ; 

All  men  of  pleasant  Tivydale, 
Fast  by  the  river  Tweed : 

0  cease  your  sports.  Earl  Percy 

said, 
And  take  your  bows  with  speed: 

And  now  with  me ,  my  countrymen , 
Your  courage  forth  advance; 

For  there  was  never  champion  yet. 
In  Scotland,  or  In  France, 

That  ever  did  on  horseback  come, 
But  if  my  hap  it  were, 

1  durst  encounter  man  for  man. 

With  him  to  break  a  spear. 

Earl  Douglas  on  his  milk-white 

steed, 


Most  like  a  baron  bold, 
Rode  foremost  of  his  company, 
Whose  armour  shone  like  gold. 

Show  me,  said  he,  whose  men 

you  be 

That  hunt  so  boldly  here, 
That,withoutmy  consent, do  chase, 

And  kill  my  fallow-deer. 

The  first  man  that   did  answer 

make. 

Was  noble  Percy  he; 
Who  said.  We  list  not  to  declare, 

Nor  show  whose  men  we  be : 

Yet  we  will  spend  our  dearest  blood 
Thy  chiefest  harts  to  slay. 

Then  Douglas  swore  a  solera  oath. 
And  thus  in  rage  did  say. 

Ere  thus  I  will  outbraved  be, 
One  of  us  two  shall  die: 

I  know  thee  well,  an  earl  thou  art; 
Lord  Percy,  so  am  I. 

But  trust  me,  Percy,  pity  it  were, 
And  great  offence  to  kill 

Any  of  these  our  guiltless  men. 
For  they  have  done  no  ill. 

Let  thou  and  I  the- battle  try, 
And  set  our  men  aside. 

Accurst  be  he.  Earl  Percy  said. 
By  whom  this  is  denied. 

Then  stepped  a  gallant  squire  forth , 
Witherington  was  his  name, 

Who  said,  I  would  not  have  it  told 
To  Henry  our  king  for  shame, 


—  300 


That  e'er  my  captain  fought  on 

foot, 
And  I  stood  looking  on ; 
You  be  two  earls,  said  Wither- 

ington, 
And  I  a  squire  alone ; 

I'll  do  the  best  that  do  I  may, 
While  I  have  power  to  stand: 

While  I  have  power  to  wield  my 

sword, 
I'll  fight  with  heart  and  hand. 

Our  English  archers  bent  their  bows 
Their  heartswere  goodand  true; 

At  the  first  flight  of  arrows  sent, 
Full  fourscore  Scots  they  slew. 


They  closed  full  fast  on  every  side, 
No  slackness  there  was  found ; 

And  many  a  gallant  gentleman 
Lay  gasping  on  the  ground. 

0  dear!  it  was  a  grief  to  see, 
And  likewise  for  to  hear, 

The  cries  of  men  lying  in  their  gore, 
And  scattered  here  and  there. 


This  fight  did  last  from  break  of 

day 
Till  setting  of  the  sun  ; 
For  when  they  rang  the  evening- 
bell, 
The  battle  scarce  was  done. 


With  stout  Earl  Percy  there  was 

slain 

Sir  John  of  Egerton, 
Sir  Robert  Katcliff,  and  Sir  John, 

Sir  James  that  bold  baron: 

And  with  Sir  George  and  stout  Sir 

James, 
Both  knights  of  good  accouut, 
Good  Sir  Ralph  Raby  there  was 

slain 
Whose  prowess  did  surmount. 

For  Witherington  needs  must  I 

wail, 

As  one  in  doleful  dumps; 
For  when  his  legs  were  smitten  off, 

He  fought  upon  his  stumps. 


Of  fifteen  hundred  Englishmen , 
Went  home  but  fifty  three; 

The  rest  was  slain  in  Chevy-Chase, 
Under  the  greenwood  tree. 

Next  day  did  many  widows  come. 
Their  husbands  to  bewail; 

They  washed   their  wounds    in 

brinish  tears, 
But  all  would  not  prevail. 

Their  bodies  bathed  in  purple  gore, 
They  bare  with  them  away: 

They  kissed  them  dead  a  thousand 

times, 
Ere  they  were  clad  in  clay. 


301  - 


God  save  our  king,  and  bless  this 
'*'  land 

With  plenty,  joy,  and  peace  ; 


And  grant  henceforth,  that  foul 

debate 
'Twixt  noblemen  may  "cease. 


28.  The  divertiog  History  of  John  Gilpin, 

showing  that  he  went  farther  than  he  intended,  and  came  safe  home  again. 


John  Gilpin  was  a  citizen 

Of  credit  and  renown, 
A  train-band  captain  eke  was  he 

Of  famous  London  town. 

John  Gilpin's  spouse  said  to  her 

dear, 
Though  wedded  we  have  been 
These  twice  ten  tedious  years,  yet 

we 
No  holiday  have  seen. 

To-morrow  is  our  wedding-day, 
And  we  will  then  repair 

Unto  the  Bell  at  Edmonton 
All  in  a  chaise  and  pair. 

My  sister  and  my  sister's  child, 
Myself  and  children  three, 

Will  fill  the  chaise:  so  you  must 

ride 
On  horseback  after  we. 

He  soon  replied,  I  do  admire 
Of  womankind  but  one, 

And  you  are  she,  my  dearest  dear, 
Therefore  it  shall  be  done. 

I  am  a  linen-draper  bold. 
As  all  the  world  doth  know, 


And  my  good  friend,  the  calendrer, 

Will  lend  his  horse  to  go. 

• 

Quoth  Mrs.  Gilpin,  That's  well 

said; 

And  for  that  wine  is  dear. 
We  will  be  furnished  with  our  own , 

Which  is  both  bright  and  clear. 

John  Gilpin  kissed  his  loving  wife, 
O'erjoyed  was  he  to  find 

That,  though  on  pleasure  she  was 

bent, 
She  had  a  frugal  mind. 

The  morning  came,  the  chaise  was 

brought, 

But  yet  was  not  allowed 
To  drive  up  to  the  door,  lest  all 

Should  say  that  he  was  proud. 

So  three  doors  off  the  chaise  was 

stayed. 

Where  they  did  all  get  in; 
Six  precious  souls,  and  all  agog 

To  dash  through  thick  and  thin. 

Smack  went  the  whip,  round  went 
the  wheels, 
Were  never  folk  so  glad ; 


~-  302 


The  stones  did  rattle  underneath, 
As  if  Cheapside  were  mad. 

John  Gilpin  at  his  horse's  side 

Seized  fast  the  flowing  mane, 
And  up  he  got,  in  haste  to  ride, 

But  soon  came  down  again; 

Per  saddle-tree    scarce  reached 

had  he, 
His  journey  to  begin, 
When,  turning  round  his  head, 

he  saw 
Three  customers  come  in. 

So  down  he  came;  for  loss  of  time, 
Although  it  grieved  him  sore, 

Yet  loss  of  pence,  full  well  he 

knew, 
Would  trouble  him  much  more. 

'Twas  long  before  the  customers 
Were  suited  to  their  mind, 

When  Betty  screaming  came  down 

stairs, 
«The  wine  is  left  behind! » 

Good  lack!  quoth  he  —  yet  bring 

it  me, 

My  leathern  belt  likewise, 
In  which  I  bear  my  trusty  sword, 

When  I  do  exercise. 

Now  Mrs.  Gilpin  (careful  soul!) 
Had  two  stone -bottles  found, 

To  hold  the  liquor  that  she  loved, 
And  keep  it  safe  and  sound. 

Each  bottle  had  a  curling  ear. 
Through  which  the  belt  he  drew, 


And  hung  a  bottle  on  each  side 
To  make  his  balance  true. 

Then  over  all  that  he  might  be 
Equipped  from  top  to  toe, 

His  long  red  cloak,  well  brush- 
ed and  neat, 
He  manfully  did  throw. 

Now  see  him  mounted  once  again 
Upon  his  nimble  steed. 

Full  slowly  pacing  o'er  the  stones, 
With  caution  and  good  heed. 

But  finding  soon  a  smoother  road 
Beneath  his  well- shod  feet, 

The  snorting  beast  began  to  trot. 
Which  galled  him  in  his  seat. 

So,  fair  and  softly,  John,  he  cried. 
But  John  he  cried  in  vain; 

That  trot  became  a  gallop  soon, 
In  spite  of  curb  and  rein. 

So  stooping  down ,  as  needs  he  must 
Who  cannot  sit  upright. 

He  grasped  the  mane  with  both  his 

hands, 
And  eke  with  all  his  might. 

His  horse,  who  never  in  that  sort 
Had  handled  been  before, 

What  thing  upon  his  back  had  got 
Did  wonder  more  and  more. 

Away  went  Gilpin,  neck  or' nought; 

Away  went  hat  and  wig; 
He  little  dreamt,  when  he  set  out, 

Of  running  such  a  rig. 


-  303  — 


The  wind  did  blow,  the  cloak  did 

fly, 

Like  streamer  long  and  gay, 
Till,  loop  and  button  failing  both, 
At  last  it  flew  away. 

Then  might  all  people  well  discern 
The  bottles  he  had  slung; 

A  bottle  swinging  at  each  side, 
As  hath  been  said  or  sung. 

The  dogs  did  bark,  the  children 

screamed, 
Up  flew  the  windows  all; 
And  every  soul  cried  out,  Well 

done! 
As  loud  as  he  could  bawl. 

Away  went  Gilpin  —  who  but  he? 

His  fame  soon  spread  around, 
He  carries  weight!  he  rides  a  race! 

'Tis  for  a  thousand  pound! 

And  still,  as  fast  as  he  drew  near, 
'Twas  wonderful  to  view 

How  in  a  trice  the  turnpike- men 
Their  gates  wide  open  threw. 

And  now,  as  he  went  bowing  down 
His  reeking  head  full  low, 

The  bottles  twain  behind  his  back 
Were  shattered  at  a  blow. 

Down  ran  the  wine  into  the  road, 
Most  piteous  to  be  seen, 

Which  made  his  horse's  flanks  to 

smoke, 
As  they  had  basted  been.      • 


But  still  he  seemed  to  carry  weight, 
With  leathern  girdle  braced; 

For  all  might  see  the  bottle-necks 
Still  dangling  at  his  waist. 

Thus  all  through  merry  Islington 
These  gambols  he  did  play. 

Until  he  came  unto  the  Wash 
At  Edmonton  so  gay. 

And  there  he  threw  the  Wash  about 
On  hoth  sides  of  the  way, 

Just  like  unto  a  trundling  mop, 
Or  a  wild  goose  at  play. 

At  Edmonton  his  loving  wife 
From  the  balcony  spied 

Her  tender  husband,   wondering 

much 
To  see  how  he  did  ride. 

Stop,  stop,  John  Gilpin! — Here's 
the  house  — 
They  all  aloud  did  cry ; 
The  dinner  waits,    and  we  are 

tired: 
Said  Gilpin  —  So  am  I! 

But  yet  his  horse  was  not  a  whit 
Inclined  to  tarry  there; 

For  why?  — his  owner  had  a  house 
Full  ten  miles  off  at  Ware. 

So  like  an  arrow  swift  he  flew. 

Shot  by  an  archer  strong; 
So  did  he  fly  —  which  brings  me  to 

The  middle  of  my  song. 

Away  went  Gilpin  out  of  breath, 
And  sore  against  his  will, 


S04  — 


Till  at  his  friend  the  calendrer's    |  My  head  is  twice  as  big  as  yours, 
His  horse  at  last  stood  still.  They  therefore  needs  must  fit. 


The  calendrer,  amazed  to  see 
His  neighbour  in  such  trim, 

Laiddownhispipe,  flew  to  the  gate, 
And  thus  accosted  him: 

What  news?  what  news?   your 
tidings  tell; 
Tell  me  you  must  and  shall  — 
Say,   why  bare-headed  you   are 

come? 
Or  why  you  come  at  all? 

Now  Gilpin  had  a  pleasant  wit, 
And  loved  a  timely  joke; 

And  thus  unto  the  calendrer 
In  merry  guise  he  spoke: 

I  came  because  your  horse  would 

come; 

And  if  I  well  forebode, 
My  hat  and  wig  will  soon  be  here, 

They  are  upon  the  road. 

The  calendrer,  right  glad  to  find 
His  friend  in  merry  pin, 

Returned  him  not  a  single  word. 
But  to  the  house  went  in; 

When  straight  he  came  with  hat 

and  wig; 

A  wig  that  flowed  behind, 
A  hat  not  much  the  worse  for  wear, 

Each  comely  in  its  kind. 

He  held  them  up,  and  in  his  turn 
Thus  showed  his  ready  wit, 


But  let  me  scrape  the  dirt  away, 
That  hangs  upon  your  face; 

And  stop  and  eat,  for  well  you  may 
Be  in  a  hungry  case. 

Said  John — it  is  my  wedding-day. 
And  all  the  world  would  stare, 

If  wife  should  dine  at  Edmonton, 
And  I  should  dine  at  Ware. 

So  turning  to  his  horse,  he  said, 
I  am  in  haste  to  dine ; 

'Twas  for  your  pleasure  I  came 

here. 
You  shall  go  back  for  mine. 

Ah  luckless  speech,  and  bootless 

boast! 

For  which  he  paid  full  dear ; 
For,  while  he  spake,  a  braying  ass 

Did  sing  most  loud  and  clear; 

Whereat  his  horse  did  snort,  as  he 
Had  heard  a  lion  roar, 

And  galloped  off  with  all  his  might, 
As  he  had  done  before. 

Away  went  Gilpin,  and  away 
Went  Gilpin's  hat  and  wig: 

He  lost  them  sooner  than  at  first. 
For  why?  —  They  were  too  big. 

Now  BIrs.  Gilpin,  when  she  saw 

Her  husband  posting  down 
Into  the  country  far  away, 
»    She  pulled  out  half  a  crown; 


-  305  — 


And  thus  unto  the  youth  she  said, 
That  drove  them  to  the  Bell, 

This  shall  be  yours,  when  you 

bring  back 
My  husband  safe  and  well. 

The  youth  did  ride,  and  soon  did 

meet 

John  coming  back  amain ; 
Whom  in  a.  trice  he  tried  to  stop, 

By  catching  at  his  rein  : 

But  not  performing  what  he  meant, 
And  gladly  would  have  done, 

The  frighted  steed  he  frighted  more , 
And  made  him  faster  run. 

Away  went  Gilpin,  and  away 
Went  post-boy  at  his  heels, 

The  post-boy's  horse  right  glad  to 

miss 
The  lumbering  of  the  wheels. 

Six  gentlemen  upon  the  road 
Thus  seeing  Gilpin  fly, 


With  post-boy  scampering  in  the 

rear, 
They  raised  the  hue  and  cry:  — 

Stop  thief!  Stop  thief!  —  a  high- 
wayman ! 

Not  one  of  them  was  mute; 
And  all  and  each  that  passed  that  way 

Did  j  oin  in  the  pursuit. 

And  now  the  turnpike-gates  again 
Flew  open  in  short  space; 

The  toll  men  thinking  as  before 
That  Gilpin  rode  a  race. 

And  so  he  did,  and  won  it  too, 

For  he  got  first  to  town; 
Nor  stopped  till  where  he  had 

got  up 
.  He  did  again  get  down. 

Now  let  us  sing,  long  live  the  king, 
And  Gilpin,  long  live  he; 

And  when  he  next  doth  ride  abroad , 
May  I  be  there  to  see! 


29.  The  Cataract  of  Lodore. 

Described  in  rhymes  for  the  Dursery. 

«How  does  the  Water 
Come  down  at  Lodore? » 

My  little  boy  ask'd  me 
Thus,  once  on  a  time; 
And  moreover  he  task'd  me 
To  tell  him  in  rhyme. 

Anon  at  the  word, 


S9 


—  306  — 

There  first  came  one  daughter, 

And  then  came  another, 
To  second  and  third 

The  request  of  their  brother, 

And  to  hear  how  the  water 
Comes  down  at  Lodore, 
With  its  rush  and  its  roar, 

As  many  a  time 
They  had  seen  it  before. 
So  I  told  them  in  rhyme, 
For  of  rhymes  I  had  store: 
And  'twas  in  my  vocation 

For  their  recreation 
That  so  I  should  sing; 
Because  I  was  Laureate 
To  them  and  the  King. 

From  its  sources  which  well 
In  the  Tarn  on  the  fell ; 
From  its  fountains 
In  the  mountains, 
Its  rills  and  its  gills; 
Through  moss  and  through  brake, 
It  runs  and  it  creeps 
For  a  while,  till  it  sleeps 
In  its  own  little  Lake. 
And  thence  at  departing, 
Awakening  and  starting, 
It  runs  through  the  reeds 
And  away  it  proceeds, 
Through  meadow  and  glade, 

In  sun  and  in  shade, 
And  through  the  wood-shelter, 
Among  crags  in  its  flurry, 
Helter-skelter, 
Hurry -skurry. 
Here  it  comes  sparkling, 
And  there  it  lies  darkling; 


—  307  — 

Now  smoaking  and  frothing 
It's  tumult  and  wrath  in, 

Till  in  this  rapid  race 

On  which  it  is  bent, 
"  It  reaches  the  place 

Of  its  steep  descent. 

The  Cataract  strong 
Then  plunges  along, 
Striking  and  raging 
As  if  a  war  waging 
Its  caverns  and  rocks  among: 

Rising  and  leaping, 
Sinking  and  creeping, 
Swelling  and  sweeping, 
Showering  and  springing, 

Flying  and  flinging, 
Writhing  and  ringing, 
Eddying  and  whisking, 
Spouting  and  frisking. 
Turning  and  twisting, 
Around  and  around 
With  endless  rebound! 
Smiting  and  fighting, 
A  sight  to  delight  in; 
Confounding,  astounding, 
Dizzying  and  deafening  the  ear  with  its  sound. 

Collecting,  projecting. 
Receding  and  speeding. 
And  shocking  and  rocking, 
And  darting  and  parting, 
And  threading  and  spreading, 
And  whizzing  and  hissing. 
And  dripping  and  skipping, 
And  hitting  and  splitting, 
And  shining  and  twining, 
And  rattling,  and  battling, 


~  308  — 


And  shaking  and  quaking, 
And  pouring  and  roaring, 
And  waving  and  raving, 
And  tossing  and  crossing,     . 
And  flowing  and  going, 
And  running  and  stunning, 
And  foaming  and  roaming, 
And  dinning  and  spinning, 
And  dropping  and  hopping, 
And  working  and  jerking, 
And  guggling  and  struggling, 
And  heaving  and  cleaving, 
And  moaning  and  groaning; 

And  glittering  and  frittering. 
And  gathering  and  feathering, 
And  whitening  and  brightening, 
And  quivering  and  shivering. 
And  hurrying  and  skurrying. 
And  thundering  and  floundering; 

Dividing  and  gliding  and  sliding, 
And  falling  and  brawling  and  sprawling, 
And  driving  and  riving  and  striving, 
And  sprinkling  and  twinkling  and  wrinkling. 
And  sounding  and  bounding  and  rounding. 
And  bubbling  and  troubling  and  doubling, 
And  grumbling  and  rumbling  and  tumbling, 
And  clattering  and  battering  and  shattering. 

Retreating  and  beating  and  meeting  and  sheeting, 
Delaying  and  straying  and  playing  and  spraying. 
Advancing  and  prancing  and  glancing  and  dancing. 
Recoiling,  turmoiling  and  toiling  and  boiling, 
And  gleaming  and  streaming  and  steaming  and  beaming. 
And  rushing  and  flushing  and  brushing  and  gushing. 
And  flapping  and  rapping  and  clapping  and  slapping, 
And  curling  and  whirling  and  purling  and  twirling, 


m 


—  309  — 

And  thumping  and  plumping  and  bumping  and  jumping, 
And  dashing  and  flashing  and  splashing  and  clashing; 

And  so  never  ending,  but  always  descending, 
Sounds  and  motions  for  ever  and  ever  are  blending, 
All  at  once  and  all  o'er,  with  a  mighty  uproar, 
And  this  way  the  Water  comes  down  at  Lodore.
